U+1838E "𘎎" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘎎
U+1838E "𘎎" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This ideograph is one of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, which were primarily deciphered from manuscripts found in sites like Khara-Khoto, and its exact semantic meaning remains partially obscure due to the language's limited corpus and the challenges in reconstructing its phonology and vocabulary. The character appears in the Unicode Standard under the Tangut block (U+17000 to U+187FF), encoded for digital representation to support scholarly research and preservation of this historical script.
