Unicode Version 17.0
𘙉
U+18649 "𘙉" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the 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 ideograph is part of the Unicode Tangut block, added in version 9.0 of the standard to support the complex, logographic writing system that consists of thousands of characters, many of which still await full decipherment by scholars. As a Tangut ideograph, it likely represents a word, concept, or morpheme, but its exact meaning and pronunciation are typically identified through historical manuscripts and linguistic research, making it a key piece of the puzzle for understanding this ancient civilization’s written records.
