U+18380 "𘎀" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18380 "𘎀" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Tangut Empire in medieval China during the Western Xia dynasty. This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to support the study and digitization of Tangut texts, many of which are preserved in manuscripts and inscriptions. The exact meaning of U+18380 remains unidentified in modern scholarship, often labeled with a placeholder hash symbol, as the majority of Tangut characters have not been fully deciphered or assigned known semantic values. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for electronic representation and research into this historically significant but still largely enigmatic script system.
