U+185C1 "𘗁" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘗁
U+185C1 "𘗁" Tangut Ideograph-# is a part of the Tangut script block used to transcribe the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia Empire from the 11th to the 13th centuries. This specific ideograph represents a single character from the vast Tangut syllabary, which comprises over 6,000 logographic characters that were used primarily in Buddhist texts, official documents, and legal codes. As a component of the Unicode Standard encoded in Plane 2, it enables digital preservation and study of the Tangut script, though its precise meaning and pronunciation are often reconstructed from historical dictionaries and multilingual inscriptions, as the language is no longer spoken.
