U+18064 "𘁤" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18064 "𘁤" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, a complex writing system historically used by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) to record their now-extinct language. This character belongs to a vast corpus of over 6,000 known Tangut ideographs, most of which were deciphered in the early 20th century through the analysis of multilingual texts like the Tangut translation of Buddhist sutras and the Pearl in the Palm dictionary. While the exact meaning of U+18064 depends on its specific lexical context, it represents a single syllable or morpheme in the Tangut language, which is structurally distinct from Chinese though visually similar in its blocky, stroke-based composition. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, under the Tangut block added in version 9.0, ensures digital preservation and accessibility for scholars studying the historical, linguistic, and cultural heritage of the lost Tangut civilization.
