U+1815E "𘅞" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘅞

U+1815E "𘅞" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This particular ideograph, catalogued in the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, represents one of over six thousand distinct characters in the script, which was deciphered primarily through the study of bilingual Chinese Tangut inscriptions and the 12th century dictionary "Pearl in the Palm." The character's precise meaning is not widely known outside specialized philological research, and its inclusion in Unicode aims to preserve and enable digital representation of this historically significant yet obscure writing system for scholars and linguists.
