U+1809E "𘂞" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘂞
U+1809E "𘂞" Tangut Ideograph-# is a logographic symbol from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character is part of the Tangut ideograph block in Unicode, specifically representing one of the thousands of complex characters that were created to transcribe the unique phonological and lexical features of Tangut. Its precise meaning is not widely documented, as the script was deciphered only partially through research on bilingual texts like the Tangut-Chinese glossary "Pearl in the Palm," and it remains an object of study for scholars of historical East Asian languages and writing systems.
