U+18743 "𘝃" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘝃
U+18743 "𘝃" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific grapheme from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This ideograph represents a single character within a vast and largely undeciphered lexicon, with its precise meaning and phonetic value often unknown, as the script was only partially decoded and many characters remain unread. The character was formally added to the Unicode Standard in 2016 as part of the Tangut block, which was created to encode the thousands of logograms discovered in texts and manuscripts. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital preservation and accessibility for linguistic research and historical study.
