U+18668 "𘙨" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘙨
U+18668 "𘙨" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single ideograph from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character, catalogued in the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, does not have a universally attested modern meaning or pronunciation, as the script was deciphered only partially through comparisons with Chinese translations of Tangut Buddhist texts. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves a fragment of a lost civilization’s literature, allowing scholars and researchers to digitally represent and study the historical documents that survive in this unique script.
