U+18163 "𘅣" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘅣
U+18163 "𘅣" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, a writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people in the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries) in what is now northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which encodes thousands of Tangut ideographs that were deciphered from historical manuscripts and inscriptions. The Tangut script is one of the most complex in history, with over 6,000 known characters, and U+18163 represents a single distinct meaning, though its exact semantic value is typically identified by a numeric index rather than a modern translation.
