U+1805F "𘁟" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1805F "𘁟" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph representing a word or morpheme from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). Encoded in the Tangut block of Unicode, this ideograph is part of a larger corpus of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, which were deciphered through work on the Tangut translation of Buddhist texts and the "Pearl in the Palm" bilingual glossary. The character itself carries a distinct phonetic and semantic value, though its exact meaning is often identified by its position in scholarly catalogues due to the partially reconstructed nature of the language. Modern digital encoding of such characters helps preserve and study this unique historical script.
