U+180C5 "𘃅" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘃅

U+180C5 "𘃅" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single grapheme from the Tangut script, an extinct logographic writing system used to record the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present day northwestern China. This specific ideograph corresponds to one of thousands of known Tangut characters, which were derived from Chinese calligraphic principles but are structurally more complex and not directly decipherable without specialized linguistic study. The character itself, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a single syllable or morpheme, and its exact meaning or phonetic value has not been publicly identified in standard Unicode documentation, as many Tangut characters remain only partially interpreted by modern scholars. Its inclusion in Unicode, part of the Tangut block added in version 9.0 (2016), ensures digital preservation and enables academic research, text digitization, and the continued study of this historically significant but still largely opaque writing sy
