U+181B2 "𘆲" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘆲

U+181B2 "𘆲" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single graphical unit representing one of over six thousand individual logograms from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This specific character, whose exact meaning and pronunciation are still being actively researched by scholars, belongs to the Tangut block within the Unicode Standard's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, where it is encoded for digital preservation and study. As a Tangut ideograph, it visually differs from Chinese characters in its complex, rectilinear strokes and distinct structural composition, reflecting a writing system that was independently invented in 1036 and later deciphered in the early 20th century through painstaking analysis of bilingual inscriptions and dictionaries.
