Unicode Version 17.0
𘎈
U+18388 "𘎈" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a complex writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Xixia Empire (11th–13th centuries). This character belongs to the Tangut block of Unicode, which encodes thousands of logographic ideographs that were deciphered from historical manuscripts and inscriptions. Its exact meaning or phonetic value corresponds to one of the many distinct Tangut characters, though precise semantic or linguistic details are often known only to specialized scholars due to the script's complexity and the limited corpus of translated texts.
