U+18111 "𘄑" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘄑
U+18111 "𘄑" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system historically used to write the extinct Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038-1227). This character is part of the Tangut block of Unicode, which was added to encode thousands of ideographs that were deciphered from 20th-century archaeological discoveries, such as the "Pearl in the Palm" bilingual glossary. While its exact semantic meaning has been identified through the study of Tangut manuscripts, U+18111 represents a single, non-decomposable lexical unit within this unique script, which was based on Chinese calligraphy but structurally unrelated to Chinese characters.
