tangut ideograph-1838e

Tangut character 1838E

5007/6136

𘎎 is a Tangut character; its Unicode name is a code-point label, not a translation. The Tangut script took shape under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036 to write Tangut, spoken in today’s northwestern China. Its characters resemble Chinese ideographs but belong to a separate script. It outlasted Western Xia’s fall to the Mongols in 1227 and survived in Buddhist texts until the end of the Ming dynasty.

Why does 𘎎 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.

Why is 𘎎 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
