U+18523 "𘔣" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘔣
U+18523 "𘔣" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwest China. This ideograph, like others in the Tangut block, represents a distinct character from the vast Tangut repertoire of over 6,000 logograms, which were deciphered primarily through bilingual texts such as the "Tangut-Chinese glossary." Its precise meaning remains partially understood by scholars, but it is cataloged in the Unicode Standard to enable modern digital representation and study of this historical script.
