Tangut Character 18425

5158/6136

𘐥 is a Tangut transliteration sign: in a loanword or name it represents a sound, so surrounding Tangut text determines its reading. The Tangut script was commissioned in 1036 for governing the Western Xia state and translating Buddhist texts; Khara-Khoto manuscripts from the 12th or early 13th century preserve it. Its forms drew on Chinese writing and the neighboring Khitan people's script, but Tangut is distinct.

Text symbol

What 𘐥 means

Read it as a sound sign inside a longer Tangut spelling.

Transliteration means writing a word or name from another language with this script. Here, the sign represents one sound rather than naming a word by itself.

Why does 𘐥 show as a box?

The active font or renderer lacks this Tangut glyph, so it substitutes a missing-character box. The text still contains 𘐥; a Tangut-capable font or renderer can display it.
