Unicode Version 17.0
𘑦
U+18466 "𘑦" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logosyllabic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This ideograph, like others in the Tangut block, represents a single syllable or morpheme and was deciphered through analysis of the Tangut dictionary "Pearl in the Palm" and bilingual texts. It appears in Unicode’s Tangut block, which was added in version 9.0 (2016) to support scholarly study and digital preservation of this historical script, contributing to the ongoing work of reconstructing Tangut phonology and meaning through comparative and structural analysis.
