U+18624 "𘘤" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18624 "𘘤" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logogram from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used for the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This specific character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a syllable rather than an alphabetic letter, and its meaning is associated with a particular concept or word in the Tangut lexicon. It was encoded in Unicode’s Tangut block as part of efforts to digitally preserve this historically significant script, which was deciphered in the 20th century from manuscripts discovered in the early 1900s. The character’s exact semantic value is documented in Tangut dictionaries, though it may be unfamiliar to most modern readers outside the field of Sino Tibetan historical linguistics.
