Unicode Version 17.0

𘀠

U+18020 "𘀠" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single grapheme from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Tangut Empire (11th-14th centuries) in present-day northwestern China. This character belongs to a large set of over 6,000 logographs encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Tangut block, primarily sourced from the Tangut dictionary "Homophones" and other manuscripts. U+18020 is employed by scholars to represent a specific Tangut word or morpheme, though its precise meaning and pronunciation are often determined through comparative philology, as the script was deciphered in the 20th century using bilingual texts and phonetic clues. Its inclusion in Unicode supports digital preservation and study of this ancient writing system.
