U+18104 "𘄄" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, which was historically used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Xixia Empire (1038–1227 CE) in present-day northwestern China. This ideograph is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, encoding a logographic symbol whose precise meaning and phonetic value are determined by scholarly reconstruction from medieval texts, as the script is not fully deciphered.
