Unicode Version 17.0
𘀾
U+1803E "𘀾" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character is one of thousands of Tangut ideographs encoded in the Unicode Standard’s Tangut block, which was added to support scholarly research and digital preservation of historical texts. Its precise meaning remains a subject of study among linguists and historians, as the Tangut script is logographic and each character typically represents a syllable or a word, often requiring context from excavated manuscripts or dictionaries like the Pearl in the Palm to be fully interpreted.
