U+180A8 "𘂨" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘂨

U+180A8 "𘂨" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty in China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This character belongs to a vast logographic block of over 6,000 encoded Tangut ideographs, each representing a word or morpheme. Its precise meaning, however, has not been identified in available modern databases, as many Tangut characters remain undeciphered or lack standardized definitions due to the limited corpus of surviving manuscripts. The inclusion of U+180A8 in the Unicode Standard ensures its digital preservation and accessibility for scholars studying this historically significant but complex script.
