Unicode Version 17.0
𘗬
U+185EC "𘗬" Tangut Ideograph-# is a component of the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This particular ideograph represents a specific lexical unit or morpheme within the Tangut script, which was deciphered in part through comparative analysis of bilingual texts and archaeological artifacts. The Tangut script, comprising over 6,000 known characters, was historically used for official documents, religious translations, and literary works, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve this unique cultural heritage for digital scholarship and typography.
