U+18300 "𘌀" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+18300 "𘌀" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single glyph from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia Empire (1038–1227 CE). This specific character was encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Tangut block, which includes over 6,000 known ideographs, to support digital preservation and scholarly research. Like all Tangut characters, it represents a morpheme or word and was deciphered primarily through the study of the Tangut–Chinese bilingual dictionary known as the Pearl in the Palm, though its exact meaning and pronunciation are not always fully certain due to the language’s limited modern understanding.
