U+18349 "𘍉" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘍉

U+18349 "𘍉" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) to record the extinct Tangut language. This particular ideograph, like all Tangut characters, represents a word or morpheme rather than an individual sound, and it is part of the vast Tangut repertoire that was deciphered in the 20th century through the study of bilingual Chinese-Tangut manuscripts. Its precise meaning corresponds to a specific concept or object, though the full phonetic reading and semantic value for each Tangut character, including this one, are documented in scholarly dictionaries compiled from historical sources such as the "Pearls in the Palm" and the "Sea of Characters" lexicons, making it a crucial piece of evidence for understanding the culture and language of the Western Xia civilization.
