tangut ideograph-18507

Tangut character for “to extinguish”

5384/6136

The meaning of 𘔇 in Tangut is “to extinguish”; scholars reconstruct its historical pronunciation as lha¹. The Tangut script was issued in 1036 for official use in the Western Xia (Xixia) state and for Buddhist translations. After the state fell in 1227, Buddhist printing continued; a Tangut Buddhist book was printed in 1502. Tangut writing drew on Chinese strokes and structure but is a separate script.

Why does 𘔇 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.
