U+180AB "𘂫" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+180AB "𘂫" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logographic symbol from the Tangut script, a writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (11th to 13th centuries) to record the now-extinct Tangut language. This specific ideograph, whose meaning is not widely known outside specialized scholarship, belongs to the larger set of over 6,000 Tangut characters encoded in the Unicode Standard's Supplementary Multilingual Plane. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and modern study of this historical script, which was deciphered through the analysis of bilingual texts like the Tangut version of the Lotus Sutra. The character itself is visually complex, constructed from multiple strokes and components that follow the blockish, square style characteristic of Tangut calligraphy.
