U+18505 "𘔅" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘔅
U+18505 "𘔅" 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). This ideograph represents a single lexical unit or word, though its precise meaning may be unknown or derived from scholarly reconstruction of Tangut texts. The character is encoded in the Tangut block of Unicode, which preserves the complex, highly logographic symbols that resemble Chinese characters but are structurally distinct and far more numerous. Its inclusion in Unicode supports digital preservation and research into the historical documents of the Tangut civilization.
