Unicode Version 17.0
𘘒
U+18612 "𘘒" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in northwestern China. This ideograph represents a unique lexical element within the Tangut vocabulary, whose exact pronunciation and meaning are studied through surviving bilingual texts, such as the Pearl in the Palm dictionary, and reconstructed by linguists specializing in the Tangut language. Encoded as part of the Tangut block in Unicode version 9.0, it belongs to a large set of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, many of which remain undeciphered or have uncertain readings due to the limited corpus of recovered manuscripts.
