U+18623 "𘘣" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18623 "𘘣" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in what is now northwestern China. Representing a single logographic character, it is encoded in the Tangut block of Unicode, which was added to the standard in 2016 to facilitate digital preservation and scholarly study of this complex writing system. The character itself corresponds to a particular word or morpheme in Tangut, though its exact meaning often requires expert analysis of historical manuscripts, as the script consists of thousands of distinct ideographs with unique strokes and compositions. Its inclusion in Unicode allows modern researchers to accurately transcribe, search, and share Tangut texts in digital formats, supporting ongoing efforts to decode and understand this lost language and its cultural heritage.
