Unicode Version 17.0
𘘄
U+18604 "𘘄" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific encoded glyph representing a single character from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China (approximately 11th to 16th centuries). This ideograph forms part of the Tangut block in Unicode, a large collection of thousands of logographic characters that were deciphered in the 20th century from mostly Buddhist texts and inscriptions. The exact semantic meaning and phonetic value of "𘘄" are typically identified through scholarly references to the Tangut dictionary and corpus, though it functions as a discrete lexical unit within the script's highly complex system of over 6,000 known characters.
