Unicode Version 17.0
𘉔
U+18254 "𘉔" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Tangut Empire (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This character represents a single word or morpheme, as each Tangut ideograph encodes a distinct syllable and meaning, though its exact definition is often unknown unless it appears in excavated dictionaries or translated Buddhist texts. The Tangut script comprises thousands of highly complex characters, and U+18254 is one of many that scholars continue to study through fragments of manuscripts and inscriptions, contributing to the ongoing decipherment of this historical writing system.
