U+18559 "𘕙" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18559 "𘕙" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries) in what is now northwestern China. This character belongs to a large block of over 6,000 Tangut ideographs encoded in Unicode to preserve and digitally represent the complex script, which was deciphered through the study of bilingual texts like the Tangut-Chinese glossary "Pearl in the Palm." Its precise meaning corresponds to a single Tangut word or syllable, though without direct transcription or translation, it is cataloged simply by its numeric position in the standard Tangut ideograph set, serving as a critical resource for scholars studying the language, history, and culture of the Western Xia Empire.
