U+187EC "𘟬" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘟬

U+187EC "𘟬" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This ideograph was officially included in the Unicode Standard as part of the Tangut block to digitally preserve and enable modern scholarly study of the more than six thousand known Tangut characters. Each Tangut ideograph, including this one, represents a full syllable or word rather than an alphabetic letter, and its precise meaning is derived from historical dictionaries and manuscripts. The inclusion of U+187EC in Unicode helps facilitate research into Tangut epigraphy, phonology, and cultural heritage by allowing consistent electronic documentation and cross-platform exchange of authoritative text.
