U+18779 "𘝹" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘝹

U+18779 "𘝹" Tangut Ideograph-# is a logogram from the Tangut script, a now extinct writing system used for the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038-1227). This specific character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in the Unicode Standard, which was added to encode thousands of finely brushed, complex characters that each represent a single syllable or morpheme in the Tangut language. The glyph itself is horizontally asymmetrical, featuring a dense arrangement of strokes that reflect the blocky, squared style typical of Tangut script, though its precise semantic meaning has not been publicly deciphered in standard Unicode annotations. As a placeholder in the Unicode repertoire, it exists primarily to facilitate digital preservation and research into the historical language and culture of the Tangut people.
