U+1836F "𘍯" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘍯

U+1836F "𘍯" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Xixia (Western Xia) Empire in medieval China. This character, like others in the Tangut block, represents a unique morpheme or syllable rather than a direct Chinese character loan, with its precise meaning often known only through surviving bilingual or trilingual texts and lexicographic works such as the *Timely Pearl in the Palm* dictionary. The Tangut script features highly complex strokes and was devised in 1036 by the scholar Yeli Renrong under Emperor Li Yuanhao, making U+1836F part of a rare and culturally significant encoding that preserves a fragment of this sophisticated but short lived literary tradition.
