Unicode Version 17.0
𘑒
U+18452 "𘑒" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in northwestern China. This ideograph represents a particular word or morpheme within the Tangut script, which was unique in being deciphered largely through comparison with Chinese translations of Buddhist texts and other bilingual documents. Its inclusion in Unicode's Tangut block, added in version 9.0 in 2016, allows for digital preservation and study of this historical script, which is crucial for scholars reconstructing the language and culture of the Tangut people.
