Unicode Version 17.0
𘐣
U+18423 "𘐣" Tangut Ideograph-# is part of the Tangut script block, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Xixia Empire (1038–1227). This particular ideograph represents an abstract glyph from the Tangut script, a highly complex logographic writing system with over 6,000 known characters decoded by modern scholars. It appears in the Tangut Ideographs Supplement range of Unicode, specifically assigned to map a character from medieval Chinese-Tangut dictionaries or manuscript fragments. The exact semantic meaning and phonetic value of U+18423 may remain partially obscure due to the limited surviving texts and ongoing philological research into Tangut linguistics.
