U+183A8 "𘎨" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+183A8 "𘎨" Tangut Ideograph-# is a graphical symbol representing a single Tangut ideograph from the extinct Tangut script, which was used for writing the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This character is one of thousands encoded in the Unicode Standard's Tangut block, known as Tangut Ideographs (U+17000 to U+187FF), and its specific meaning is not widely defined outside of specialized historical and linguistic research. The Tangut script, created by imperial decree, features complex, logographic characters that are distinct from Chinese, and U+183A8 appears as a square, intricately structured glyph composed of strokes and radicals. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent this ancient writing system for scholars and software developers.
