U+1808A "𘂊" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+1808A "𘂊" Tangut Ideograph-# is a representation of a specific logogram from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut block of Unicode, encoded as part of a larger effort to preserve and digitize historical scripts, though its precise meaning and pronunciation are often uncertain or lost due to the limited number of surviving texts and the incomplete decipherment of the script. The character is visually complex, composed of dense strokes typical of Tangut writing, which was inspired by Chinese calligraphy but designed with its own unique structural principles.
