U+187B8 "𘞸" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘞸
U+187B8 "𘞸" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logogram from the Tangut script, a complex writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in ancient China. This specific character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a word or morpheme and was decoded by linguists as part of the larger Unicode Tangut block, which was added to the standard in 2016 with version 9.0. Its exact meaning and phonetic value are documented in historical Chinese-Tangut dictionaries, such as the Pearl in the Palm, though it does not carry a standard English translation beyond its catalog number. The inclusion of "𘞸" in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and scholarly study of this rare historical script.
