U+18650 "𘙐" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18650 "𘙐" Tangut Ideograph-# is a character from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th-13th centuries). This particular ideograph has a unique, complex composition of strokes typical of Tangut orthography, which consists of over 6,000 known characters. Its specific meaning is recorded in the "Tangut Ideograph" block of the Unicode Standard, where it is identified by the placeholder "#" due to the lack of a standardized English gloss or fully confirmed semantic value in modern scholarship. The character itself remains a subject of linguistic study, as researchers continue to decode the vast Tangut lexicon from surviving manuscripts and stone inscriptions. Its inclusion in Unicode enables digital preservation and cross-platform representation of this medieval script.
