U+18581 "𘖁" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘖁
U+18581 "𘖁" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This particular ideograph, like all Tangut characters, was originally carved into manuscripts and stele inscriptions, representing a compact, complex logogram that encodes a syllable or morpheme rather than a single letter. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital preservation, study, and exchange of Tangut texts, supporting scholars and linguists working to decode this historically significant script.
