Unicode Version 17.0
𘔴
U+18534 "𘔴" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph is assigned to the Tangut block of Unicode, which was added to support the digital encoding of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, enabling modern scholarly research and preservation. The character’s exact meaning and phonetic value remain under study by linguists, but it represents a unique graphic form distinct from Chinese characters, with a structure typical of Tangut’s complex stroke composition.
