U+18404 "𘐄" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘐄
U+18404 "𘐄" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia Empire (now northwestern China) between the 11th and 16th centuries. This ideograph represents a distinct lexical unit or syllable within the Tangut script, which comprises over 6,000 logographic characters with complex strokes, many of which remain unreadable or poorly understood by modern scholars. As part of the Tangut Supplement block in Unicode, its inclusion enables digital preservation and study of this rare historical script, though its exact meaning or pronunciation may not be fully deciphered due to the limited surviving texts and ongoing philological research.
