tangut ideograph-186ab

Tangut character 𘚫

5804/6136

𘚫 is a Tangut prefix, a short marker before a verb in the Western Xia language. A 1994 paper records proposals to mark what a verb acts on, direction “inside,” past tense, or repetition, but groups it among markers for complete action. Created in 1036 to mark Xia identity, Tangut writing was visually inspired by Chinese and followed the Khitans’ example of creating a state script; it carried Buddhist texts and translated Chinese works.

Why does 𘚫 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.
