U+18178 "𘅸" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘅸

U+18178 "𘅸" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of characters from the Tangut script, and its exact meaning is determined by its composition within the Tangut dictionary, often representing a syllable or word from the Tangut lexicon. The character is notated with a placeholder "#" because many Tangut ideographs have not yet been fully deciphered or assigned a standard semantic definition by scholars, though it contributes to the digital preservation and study of this ancient writing system.
