Unicode Version 17.0
𘄀
U+18100 "𘄀" Tangut Ideograph-# is part of the Tangut script block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2016 with version 9.0 to support the historical writing system of the Tangut Empire, a state that existed in northwestern China from the 11th to 13th centuries. This specific ideograph represents one of the thousands of logographic characters used in the script, which was deciphered primarily through multilingual inscriptions and dictionaries discovered in the 20th century. The inclusion of U+18100 in Unicode allows for the digital representation and preservation of this extinct language, enabling scholars to study and digitize ancient Tangut texts such as Buddhist scriptures and legal documents.
