U+1856E "𘕮" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1856E "𘕮" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single written character from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This specific ideograph, like all Tangut characters, represents a word or morpheme and was inscribed in the monumental dictionary "The Sea of Characters," which records thousands of such symbols with their meanings and pronunciations in reconstructed phonetic values. The character's inclusion in Unicode allows scholars and digital archivists to study, digitize, and preserve historical Tangut texts, providing access to a unique aspect of Central Asian linguistic and cultural heritage. Its intricate strokes and specific form reflect the highly complex and stylized nature of the Tangut script, which remains a key subject of philological research.
