U+1859B "𘖛" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘖛
U+1859B "𘖛" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single graphic element from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This specific ideograph remains largely unclassified in terms of its exact meaning or pronunciation, as the Tangut script contains over 6,000 known characters, many of which have not been fully deciphered. Encoded in Unicode’s Tangut block, it represents one of countless logograms that were used to write the extinct Tangut language, offering modern scholars a fragment of a once-thriving civilization that developed its own complex literary and bureaucratic traditions.
