𘐂

U+18402 "𘐂" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) to record the now-extinct Tangut language. This character is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, which was added to the standard in 2016 with the release of version 9.0, and it represents a logographic symbol with a unique phonetic or semantic value, though its exact meaning in the language is often reconstructed through analysis of historical manuscripts. The Tangut script is known for its complexity, featuring over 6,000 characters, and this particular ideograph contributes to the ongoing scholarly effort to decipher and digitally preserve the linguistic heritage of the Tangut civilization.
