U+18446 "𘑆" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18446 "𘑆" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty, which flourished in northwestern China from the 11th to 13th centuries. This character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a single syllable or morpheme and was decoded from the Tangut script's vast repository of over 6,000 known characters, many of which have been reconstructed from excavated manuscripts and stone inscriptions. Its exact meaning remains largely unconfirmed due to the limited corpus of fully translated texts, but it is cataloged in the Unicode Standard under the Tangut block, enabling digital representation and study of this ancient script for linguistic and historical research.
