Unicode Version 17.0
𘚊
U+1868A "𘚊" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character, like others in the same block, represents a single morpheme or word, and its exact meaning and pronunciation are documented in historical texts such as the Pearl in the Palm, a Tangut dictionary. The character is encoded in the Tangut Ideographs Unicode block (U+17000 to U+187FF), which includes over 6,000 known Tangut characters, and it is used primarily for scholarly research in linguistics and medieval Chinese history. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this unique and largely undeciphered writing system.
