Unicode Version 17.0
U+18321 "𘌡" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a historically significant logographic writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) to document the extinct Tangut language. This character belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which encodes thousands of such ideographs, each representing a distinct morpheme. The exact meaning and reconstruction of its pronunciation remain subjects of scholarly research, as the script was deciphered only partially over the past century through analysis of bilingual texts and dictionaries. As part of the digital preservation of ancient scripts, U+18321 enables modern representation of a key visual and linguistic artifact from a lost civilization, allowing for more accessible study and archiving of Tangut manuscripts and inscriptions.
