Unicode Version 17.0
𘉷
U+18277 "𘉷" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This character, whose precise meaning and pronunciation are known only through comparative reconstruction and the study of historical Tangut dictionaries, represents one of thousands of ideograms in the script, which was deciphered in the early 20th century by scholars like Nikolai Nevsky. As part of the Tangut block in Unicode, this ideograph enables digital representation and study of a once-lost language, allowing modern researchers to analyze its complex morphology and phonetic system.
