𘈗
U+18217 "𘈗" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th-13th centuries). This character is one of many thousands of Tangut ideographs encoded in Unicode's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, representing a logographic symbol that likely corresponds to a single morpheme or word in the Tangut vocabulary. It was part of the comprehensive proposal to include the Tangut script in Unicode, enabling digital preservation and study of historical texts, though its exact meaning and phonetic value are determined through ongoing scholarly research based on surviving manuscripts and dictionaries.
