U+18457 "𘑗" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘑗
U+18457 "𘑗" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used by the Tangut people during the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This particular character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a single syllable or word and was carved from a large corpus of thousands of distinct characters, many of which were documented in the 12th century Tangut dictionary "The Sea of Characters." Modern scholars have deciphered limited portions of the Tangut script, but the exact reading and meaning of U+18457 remain tied to ongoing philological research into Tangut language and texts.
