Unicode Version 17.0

𘑠

U+18460 "𘑠" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This ideograph represents one of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, which were used primarily in Buddhist texts, official documents, and literary works. The Tangut script was designed by the scholar Yeli Renrong under the orders of Emperor Li Yuanhao and features a complex logographic system inspired by Chinese characters, though structurally distinct. As part of Unicode's Tangut block (U+17000 to U+18AFF), this character helps preserve and digitally encode a vital piece of Central Asian linguistic and cultural heritage, aiding modern scholars in deciphering historical manuscripts.
