U+185FA "𘗺" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘗺
U+185FA "𘗺" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the now-extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This specific ideograph, identified by its unique code point in the Unicode Tangut block, represents a distinct logographic character whose precise meaning and pronunciation have been reconstructed by scholars through painstaking analysis of historical texts, such as the "Tangut-Chinese Glossary" and Buddhist scriptures. The character contributes to the broader effort of deciphering this complex script, which was revived in digital form to preserve and study the linguistic heritage of a once powerful but now vanished civilization.
