tangut ideograph-182ed

Tangut character 𘋭

𘋭 belongs to Tangut writing, but its Unicode label does not tell you how to read it; a Tangut dictionary or surrounding text supplies context. The script served Buddhist, legal, and official writing, and fonts may draw the same character differently.

What 𘋭 means

Its Unicode label identifies the encoded character, not its reading.

The Tangut script was created for the Tangut language. It drew on Chinese writing and the Khitan script, another historical writing system, but remained distinct.

The Western Xia kingdom developed it around 1036–1037 for Buddhist, legal, official, private, and manuscript texts. After it left state use, surviving texts became a subject of scholarship.

Why can 𘋭 look different in another font?

Fonts can change its drawing without changing its identity.

Tangut fonts may draw variant forms; a font without Tangut coverage may show an empty square.

Why does 𘋭 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
