U+18719 "𘜙" 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 (1038–1227). This character represents one of thousands of Tangut ideographs, each typically encoding a single syllable or morpheme, and its precise meaning or pronunciation has yet to be fully deciphered by scholars due to the limited surviving texts and the complex nature of the script's reconstruction.
