Tangut Character 18642

𘙂 is a Tangut character glossed “low” in Li Fanwen’s 2008 dictionary. The Western Xia court established the Tangut script around 1036 to write Tangut; it served official, private, and Buddhist texts, and remained in use under the Yuan and Ming before becoming obsolete by the Ming's end. Its square style echoes Chinese writing, but Tangut is a separate script. Unicode gives a code label, not a translation.

Questions people ask

Why does 𘙂 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
