U+18603 "𘘃" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘘃
U+18603 "𘘃" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This particular character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a discrete word or morpheme, though its precise meaning and phonetic value are often determined through ongoing philological research. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard (specifically within the Tangut block, range U+17000 to U+187FF) ensures that scholars and digital humanities projects can encode, share, and analyze these historical characters electronically.
