U+18399 "𘎙" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘎙
U+18399 "𘎙" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This ideograph belongs to a large block of Tangut characters encoded in Unicode to enable digital preservation and study of historical texts, and it represents a distinct syllable or concept, though its exact meaning typically requires reference to Tangut lexicography. The character itself, like all Tangut ideographs, features intricate stroke patterns that reflect the script’s adaptation of Chinese calligraphic principles to a wholly unique and largely syllabic writing system.
