Unicode Version 17.0
𘋂
U+182C2 "𘋂" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logogram from the Tangut script, which was used to write the now extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This specific character, one of over 6,000 encoded in the Tangut block of Unicode, represents a distinct meaning and pronunciation within the script’s vast system of ideographs, which were deciphered in part through bilingual texts like the Tangut translation of the Lotus Sutra. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and study of this complex writing system, which features highly intricate strokes and was historically carved into woodblocks or written with brush and ink.
