𘎋
U+1838B "𘎋" Tangut Ideograph-# is a character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This specific ideograph is part of the Tangut ideographic block in Unicode, which encompasses thousands of logographic symbols that represent both sounds and meanings, though the exact semantic value of "𘎋" has not been fully identified in modern scholarship. The inclusion of such characters in Unicode ensures their preservation and facilitates digital study of the Tangut language, which was deciphered in the early 20th century through finds like the Khara-Khoto manuscripts.
