𘖚
U+1859A "𘖚" Tangut Ideograph-# is a logographic symbol from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the now extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This specific ideograph belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which was added in version 9.0 in 2016 to support scholarly research and digital preservation of this complex script, known for its thousands of distinct characters adapted from Chinese calligraphic styles. The character likely represents a specific word or concept in Tangut, though its exact meaning may require specialized linguistic analysis due to the limited surviving texts and the script's historical obscurity.
