U+1820D "𘈍" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+1820D "𘈍" Tangut Ideograph-# is a part of the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the now extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This specific ideograph represents one of over six thousand known Tangut characters, which were largely deciphered from texts discovered in the early 20th century, such as the Tangut translation of Buddhist sutras. The character itself is assigned to the Tangut block within Unicode, placed in a high supplementary plane to accommodate the vast number of logograms, though its precise meaning and pronunciation remain a subject of ongoing scholarly research due to the incomplete reconstruction of the language.
