U+18548 "𘕈" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘕈
U+18548 "𘕈" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific encoded glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the now extinct Tangut language that flourished during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This particular ideograph, designated with a placeholder "#" in its standard name due to current scholarly uncertainty, represents one of over six thousand unique characters used in the script, which was deciphered primarily through the discovery of bilingual inscriptions and dictionaries. Its inclusion in Unicode (version 9.0, 2016) allows for digital representation and study of this historical script, aiding linguists and historians in analyzing Tangut phonology, grammar, and textual artifacts.
