U+1834D "𘍍" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1834D "𘍍" Tangut Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient logogram from the Tangut script, a writing system used for the extinct Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries) in present-day northwestern China. This specific character represents one of over six thousand known Tangut ideographs, many of which were deciphered from manuscripts and inscriptions discovered in the early 20th century, notably at the site of Khara-Khoto. Encoded in Unicode as part of the Tangut block in Plane 1 (the Supplementary Multilingual Plane), this character aids scholars in digital preservation and study of Tangut texts, which were used for administrative, religious, and literary purposes. The script’s complex structure often combines semantic and phonetic components, and U+1834D contributes to ongoing efforts to reconstruct the language’s vocabulary and grammar.
