U+18181 "𘆁" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘆁

U+18181 "𘆁" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific writing symbol from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to record the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut block in Unicode, added in version 9.0 to support scholarly research and digital preservation of the script. Its form is a logographic ideograph, meaning it represents a word or morpheme rather than a sound, though the exact meaning and phonetic value of this particular character may require specialized knowledge of Tangut philology to identify. The inclusion of such characters in Unicode helps linguists and historians study this ancient writing system, which was deciphered only in the 20th century.
