Unicode Version 17.0

𘟥

U+187E5 "𘟥" Tangut Ideograph-# is a logogram from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia Empire (11th–13th centuries CE). This specific character, one of over 6,000 encoded in the Tangut block of Unicode, represents a distinct semantic or phonetic unit, though its exact meaning is not widely known outside specialized linguistic study. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates digital preservation and research of Tangut manuscripts, which were deciphered primarily through the "Pearl in the Palm" bilingual glossary, and it appears as a complex stroke-based glyph typical of the Tangut script's unique, highly cursive style.
