U+18647 "𘙇" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18647 "𘙇" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 C.E.) in northwest China. This character belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which was encoded to preserve and digitally represent the thousands of logographic symbols that were deciphered from excavated manuscripts and inscriptions. Like all Tangut ideographs, U+18647 represents a single morpheme or word, but its precise meaning and pronunciation have largely been reconstructed by linguists through comparative analysis of bilingual texts and internal evidence, as the language is no longer spoken. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and enthusiasts can reliably encode, share, and study these ancient symbols in modern digital environments.
