U+185C0 "𘗀" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘗀
U+185C0 "𘗀" Tangut Ideograph-# is a component of the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in northwestern China. This specific ideograph represents an individual logogram from a corpus of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, which were inspired by Chinese calligraphic styles but possess distinct strokes and phonetic principles. Deciphered primarily for historical and linguistic research, U+185C0 encodes a lexical element whose precise meaning and pronunciation are determined by its context within the few surviving Tangut manuscripts, such as the Pearl in the Palm Buddhist text. Its inclusion in Unicode enables digital preservation and scholarly study of this extinct language.
