tangut ideograph-1838f

Tangut character 1838F

5008/6136

𘎏 is a character in Tangut script, used to write the language of Xixia (Western Xia). The script was introduced for state use in 1036; its earliest surviving document is dated 1072, and a 1502 stone inscription shows it outlasted the state, which fell in 1227. Tangut writing drew on Chinese character principles; a Khitan influence is possible but disputed. Its Unicode label is an identifier, not a translation.

Why does 𘎏 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.
