U+18479 "𘑹" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This character represents one of thousands of logograms in the Tangut script, which was primarily used for administrative, religious, and literary texts.
