Unicode Version 17.0
U+18253 "𘉓" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific ideograph from the Tangut script, a writing system used primarily for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwest China (11th–14th centuries). This character is one of thousands of logographic symbols that were deciphered in the 20th century, and while its exact meaning may vary based on scholarly interpretation, it generally represents a lexical or functional word within the Tangut corpus. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard in 2016 under the Tangut block (range U+17000–U+187FF) was a significant milestone for digital preservation of historical scripts, allowing researchers and linguists to encode, share, and study these rare characters accurately in modern computing environments.
