Unicode Version 17.0
𘖗
U+18597 "𘖗" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This particular ideograph is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, which was added to support historical and linguistic research. Its meaning and pronunciation are documented in Tangut dictionaries, though it remains obscure to general readers. The character is defined by its unique composition of strokes and radicals, reflecting the complex structure of the Tangut script, which consists of thousands of distinct characters, many of which are still being deciphered by scholars.
