𘁕

U+18055 "𘁕" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used primarily during the Tangut-led Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph represents a single, distinct word or morpheme in the Tangut language, which was derived from the Tibetan alphabet and contains thousands of intricate logograms. The character is encoded in the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, part of a larger effort to digitally preserve and support historical scripts for scholarly research, digital typography, and cultural heritage. Its exact meaning remains tied to ongoing philological studies, as many Tangut characters are still being deciphered through analysis of excavated texts and dictionaries.
