Unicode Version 17.0
𘊀
U+18280 "𘊀" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This ideograph represents a logographic symbol with a distinct meaning in the Tangut lexicon, though its exact translation is often identified through scholarly cataloging numbers rather than a single English word, as the script comprised over 6,000 characters. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this historical script, aiding linguists and historians in decoding texts from the extinct Tangut civilization.
