U+18197 "𘆗" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+18197 "𘆗" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in present-day northwest China. This ideograph is one of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, each typically representing a single syllable or morpheme, and it was encoded in Unicode's Tangut block (U+18000 to U+18AFF) to facilitate digital preservation and research. While its precise meaning and pronunciation remain uncertain due to the partial decipherment of the Tangut script, it is cataloged in academic databases and contributes to ongoing efforts by linguists and historians to reconstruct the vocabulary and culture of the Tangut people.
