Unicode Version 17.0
𘗯
U+185EF "𘗯" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logographic glyph from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used to record the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (11th–14th centuries) in what is now northwestern China. This specific ideograph, like all Tangut characters, is highly complex in structure, composed of numerous strokes that encode meaning through a combination of semantic and phonetic components, though its exact meaning remains unknown. It is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, included to facilitate digital preservation and scholarly study of this ancient language, whose decipherment relies on bilingual texts and comparative analysis.
