U+18047 "𘁇" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘁇

U+18047 "𘁇" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used by the Tangut people of the Tangut Empire (also known as Western Xia) in what is now northwestern China, primarily between the 11th and 16th centuries. This ideograph, identified by its unique code point in the Unicode Standard's Tangut block, represents a single word or morpheme in the Tangut language, which is now extinct and was deciphered largely through bilingual inscriptions and dictionaries. The character's precise semantic meaning and phonetic value have been reconstructed by linguists through comparative analysis of surviving Tangut manuscripts, with each ideograph typically corresponding to a distinct syllable and concept in the language. U+18047 is part of a comprehensive encoding effort that includes thousands of Tangut characters, enabling modern digital preservation and study of this historically significant yet esoteric script.
