U+18648 "𘙈" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+18648 "𘙈" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This character is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, a large collection of over 6,000 ideographs that were deciphered primarily through the study of bilingual Chinese Tangut texts and dictionaries. Like all Tangut characters, it represents a single syllable and carries a distinct meaning, though the exact semantic value of U+18648 is often identified by its index number in standard reference works rather than a commonly known translation.
