Tangut Character 183D2

5075/6136

Text symbol

What 𘏒 means

References give different translations.

A Tangut-English word index gives “general”; a study of Tangut sounds gives “to open”; a comparative verb table gives “untie, release.” The meaning depends on the source.

The Western Xia court introduced Tangut writing in 1036 for administration, diplomacy, schools, and Buddhist translation and printing. Texts continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Use its sentence and source before choosing a reading.

Historical Tangut text; display depends on Tangut font support.

Why does 𘏒 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.
