tangut ideograph-18514

Tangut character for halberd

5397/6136

𘔔 is the Tangut word for “halberd,” a polearm, or long-handled weapon with a spear point and side blade. Western Xia, a northwestern Chinese state, commissioned Tangut writing around 1036 to distinguish itself from Song China and translate Buddhist texts, following nearby Khitan states’ example. Chinese writing shaped its visual style, but Tangut remained distinct; Buddhist inscriptions survive as late as 1502, after Xia fell in 1227.

Why does 𘔔 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.
