Unicode Version 17.0

𘗂

U+185C2 "𘗂" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block, which encompasses over 6,000 encoded symbols representing whole words or morphemes, though its precise meaning remains unclear due to the fragmented state of Tangut lexicography. The Tangut script, deciphered partially in the 20th century, is structurally complex with strokes resembling Chinese characters but with different phonological and semantic rules, making each ideograph like U+185C2 a linguistic artifact vital for understanding the culture, law, and Buddhist texts of the Tangut Empire.
