U+180EF "𘃯" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘃯
U+180EF "𘃯" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph represents one of the thousands of Tangut characters, each typically encoding a single syllable and meaning, that were deciphered in part through the study of bilingual Tangut-Chinese texts like the "Pearl in the Palm." While the exact semantic and phonetic value of U+180EF is documented in Unicode standards as part of the Tangut block, its specific meaning and pronunciation remain subject to ongoing philological research due to the complexity of the script and the limited corpus of surviving texts.
