U+1873F "𘜿" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1873F "𘜿" Tangut Ideograph-# is a representation of a logograph from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This specific ideograph, whose exact meaning is recorded in the Tangut dictionary Homophones and the semantic compilation Sea of Characters, belongs to the vast repertoire of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, each composed of intricate strokes that often combine elements for sound and meaning, similar to Chinese characters but with independent construction rules. As part of the Tangut Supplement block in Unicode, this character helps preserve and digitally represent a unique writing system that was deciphered primarily in the 20th century through the study of bilingual inscriptions and excavated manuscripts.
