U+18672 "𘙲" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘙲
U+18672 "𘙲" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single component from the historical Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This specific ideograph is part of a vast set of over 6,000 encoded Tangut characters, each representing a syllable or morpheme, though deciphering its precise meaning requires specialized philological analysis due to the limited corpus of surviving texts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital preservation and scholarly study of this unique and largely undeciphered script, which was primarily deciphered through the bilingual Chinese-Tangut "Pearl in the Palm" manuscript and later sutra fragments.
