Unicode Version 17.0
𘚘
U+18698 "𘚘" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block and represents one of the thousands of logograms in the script, which was primarily decoded through the discovery of bilingual texts like the Tangut-Chinese glossary "Pearl in the Palm." Its precise meaning remains a subject of ongoing scholarly research, as the Tangut script is only partially deciphered, and each character often corresponds to a morpheme or word in the Tangut language, contributing to our understanding of this ancient civilization's written record.
