U+18740 "𘝀" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which was added to support the study and digital preservation of historical texts.
