Unicode Version 17.0
𘋸
U+182F8 "𘋸" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty in China (11th–13th centuries). This ideograph represents a single lexical unit or word in Tangut, a language that is now extinct and remains only partially deciphered by scholars. The character is part of the Unicode Tangut block, which includes thousands of such ideographs encoded to preserve and support digital research into this historical script. Its precise meaning is tied to specific Tangut texts, often requiring comparative analysis with Chinese translations found in manuscripts, and it contributes to the broader effort to reconstruct Tangut phonology and grammar.
