tangut ideograph-18533

Tangut character for gas

5428/6136

Tangut dictionaries gloss 𘔳 as “gas,” “steam,” or “smoke.” On its own, it gives you a historical word, not the sender’s reason for sending it.

Text symbol

What 𘔳 means

It names vaporous matter. Historical dictionary glosses overlap in English, so surrounding words help choose the best fit.

The Tangut script was created under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036 CE to write Tangut. It continued under the Mongol Yuan and Ming dynasties, became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty, and was rediscovered in the late 19th century. The mid-12th-century Sea of Writing dictionary records this sign.

If 𘔳 appears as a blank box, your font may lack Tangut coverage; the missing drawing does not change the character.

Historical and specialist; the glyph’s word sense alone cannot establish a sender’s intent.

𘔳 is Tangut writing, not a reaction emoji.

Why does 𘔳 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.
