U+18628 "𘘨" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘘨
U+18628 "𘘨" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph represents a distinct logographic character within the known Tangut repertoire, which comprises thousands of complex, square-shaped signs, many of which are still being deciphered by scholars. As part of the Tangut block in Unicode, its inclusion helps preserve and digitally encode a historically significant but endangered script, allowing for modern study and representation of texts from a once-flourishing civilization.
