U+18583 "𘖃" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single character from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China. This specific character represents an ideograph, meaning it conveys a word or morpheme rather than a sound, and is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, which includes over 6,000 characters.
