Tangut Ideograph-1872D

5934/6136

𘜭 means “head” in Tangut; scholars reconstruct its reading as ŋur, beginning with the nasal “ng” at the end of English “sing.” Tangut script was developed for the Western Xia state (Xixia) around 1036 for official and Buddhist writing. Historical texts also use variant 𗚊. A Tangut-capable font is needed to display it.

Text symbol

What 𘜭 means

It means “head” in Tangut. No: 𘜭 is not Chinese. Tangut script was shaped by Chinese writing, but it records a separate language; its resemblance does not supply a Chinese reading.

A historical Tangut word; best used in Tangut text or script-focused writing.

Without Tangut context, readers may miss the “head” meaning.

Why does 𘜭 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.
