Unicode Version 17.0

𘅠

U+18160 "𘅠" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph is part of the Tangut block within Unicode, which was added to the standard in 2016 to digitally encode over 6,000 distinct Tangut characters, enabling their preservation and study. While the precise meaning and phonetic value of this particular character may require consultation with specialized Tangut philological resources, its inclusion in Unicode represents a significant step in making the historical script accessible for modern linguistic research, digital archiving, and the ongoing effort to decipher this complex logographic system.
