Tangut character 𘘔

5653/6136

𘘔 is a Tangut character restored in one legal text as part of a word translated “dan,” a traditional grain measure. The Tangut script was created around 1036 to write the Tangut language, once spoken in what is now northwestern China; it served state records and Buddhist texts and remained in religious use after the Western Xia state fell in 1227.

Text symbol

What 𘘔 means

No. Here, “dan” is the translation; dźja_ is the reading. In an edition of a Tangut legal text, an editor supplies 𘘔 in a missing word translated as “dan.” That documents a grain measure in this passage; it does not show that the glyph is a general-purpose unit sign.

Is 𘘔 a Chinese character?

No. It belongs to Tangut, a separate script for another language. Its square forms take cues from Chinese writing, but Tangut has its own characters and readings; knowing Chinese will not decode 𘘔.

Why does 𘘔 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.
