Unicode Version 17.0
𘘵
U+18635 "𘘵" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries) to record the extinct Tangut language. This ideograph represents a unique logographic symbol, contributing to the over 6,000 known Tangut characters that have been gradually deciphered by scholars through the study of multilingual inscriptions and the key Tangut–Chinese bilingual dictionary, the Pearl in the Palm. The inclusion of this character in Unicode facilitates digital preservation and academic research, allowing historians and linguists to more easily analyze and compare Tangut texts without relying solely on physical manuscripts.
