U+18770 "𘝰" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific encoded character within the Tangut script block, representing a single ideograph from the extinct Tangut language used by the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 AD). This character was officially added to the Unicode Standard in Version 14.0, released in 2021, as part of a broader effort to digitize and preserve the Tangut script. The Tangut writing system is a logographic script, and each ideograph is composed of complex strokes that denote a distinct word or morpheme.
