U+18391 "𘎑" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18391 "𘎑" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This particular ideograph is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of characters that were deciphered from historical manuscripts, primarily Buddhist texts and legal documents. The character itself represents a distinct lexical unit or syllable within the Tangut language, though its precise meaning may require specialized scholarly reference due to the script's high number of phonetic-semantic compounds and historical ambiguity. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital preservation and access for researchers studying this ancient civilization and its linguistic heritage.
