U+18115 "𘄕" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18115 "𘄕" Tangut Ideograph-# is part of the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people during the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This specific ideograph, like all Tangut characters, is highly logographic and was designed to represent morphemes rather than phonetic sounds alone. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard as part of the Tangut block ensures that scholars and linguists can digitally encode and preserve this ancient script for research in epigraphy, history, and language reconstruction. The Tangut script is notable for its complexity, with over 6,000 known characters that are often composed of multiple strokes and radicals, and U+18115 represents one of the few thousand documented ideographs that remain a subject of ongoing study.
