U+18023 "𘀣" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18023 "𘀣" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single ideograph from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This specific character, identified by its unique glyph in the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, represents one of thousands of distinct ideographs that were decoded through painstaking research, as each Tangut character is formed from a combination of strokes and radicals, analogous to Chinese characters but with a separate and largely independent structure. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and study of this historical script, which is crucial for understanding the culture, administration, and literature of the Tangut civilization.
