U+185B4 "𘖴" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038-1227 CE) in northwestern China. This character represents one of thousands of logographic Tangut ideographs, which were compiled into a comprehensive dictionary called the "Sea of Characters" in the 12th century.
