U+1860C "𘘌" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1860C "𘘌" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logographic symbol from the Tangut script, a writing system historically used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (1038 1227 CE). Defined in Unicode as a Tangut Ideograph, it was formally encoded in the Tangut block, representing one of the thousands of characters unique to this complex script, which was deciphered primarily through the study of the Tangut dictionary, the Pearl in the Palm. Its specific meaning and phonetic value are cataloged within the Tangut character database, often identified by its numeric index rather than a standard translation, as the language remains only partially understood. The character serves as a piece of a larger puzzle for linguists and historians working to reconstruct the language and cultural records of a once powerful but now vanished empire.
