U+1821D "𘈝" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1821D "𘈝" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This character represents one of thousands of Tangut ideographs, a complex script that was largely indecipherable until the 20th century, when a TangutChinese glossary helped scholars begin to crack its code. The character itself, like all Tangut symbols, is composed of dense, blocklike strokes and carries a unique semantic meaning that contributes to the broader corpus of Tangut literature, including Buddhist texts, legal documents, and poetry. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1821D ensures that this historical script can be digitally preserved and studied across modern computing systems.
