Unicode Version 17.0
𘟈
U+187C8 "𘟈" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character, officially designated as an ideograph but not yet assigned a standard transliteration or meaning in modern databases, forms part of the Tangut Supplement block in Unicode, which contains over 7,000 characters derived from the handwritten notes of Russian scholars. Its precise semantic value remains largely unknown to contemporary researchers due to the limited corpus of deciphered Tangut texts, making it a subject of ongoing philological study.
