U+18658 "𘙘" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘙘
U+18658 "𘙘" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, a writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character belongs to the Tangut block in Unicode, which was encoded in 2016 as part of the Tangut Ideographs range, and its precise meaning has not been fully deciphered due to the incomplete state of Tangut lexicography. The Tangut script consists of over 6,000 characters based on Chinese calligraphic principles but with distinct strokes and composition, and U+18658 represents one of these complex glyphs that scholars analyze through historical manuscripts and dictionaries to reconstruct the language and culture of the Tangut empire.
