tangut ideograph-186be

Tangut Character 186BE

5823/6136

𘚾 is a Tangut character, separate from Chinese characters; its English gloss is uncertain. A 2008 English index gives “well-proportioned” for an entry shown as 𘚾; the 2025 Unicode chart assigns this code point a different dictionary entry. As of 2026, the mismatch leaves no secure gloss for this character. Tangut writing began about 1036 CE for the Western Xia state; it served official and Buddhist texts and outlasted the state.

Why does 𘚾 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.
