U+18117 "𘄗" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘄗
U+18117 "𘄗" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This particular glyph represents a single ideograph within that logo-syllabic writing system, which was deciphered in the 20th century from surviving manuscripts and inscriptions. Like all Tangut characters, its precise meaning is known only through scholarly reconstruction, as the script fell out of use after the Mongol conquest of the Western Xia in the 13th century. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that researchers and digital archives can represent this historically important script in modern text encoding systems.
