U+181EF "𘇯" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+181EF "𘇯" Tangut Ideograph-# is part of the Tangut block, which encodes the script of the extinct Tangut language used by the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in northwestern China. This specific character represents an ideographic component of the Tangut writing system, a complex logographic script invented by imperial decree to record the Tangut language, and its form is derived from Chinese calligraphic influences yet structurally distinct. The exact meaning and pronunciation of U+181EF are not publicly known due to the incomplete decipherment of the Tangut script, though ongoing scholarly research continues to reconstruct its linguistic role within the broader corpus of Tangut texts, including Buddhist translations and administrative documents.
