U+18805 "𘠅" Tangut Component-006 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘠅
U+18805 "𘠅" Tangut Component-006 is a graphical element used in the encoding of the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system developed during the Tangut Empire (11th–14th centuries) in what is now northwestern China. This component, specifically numbered 006, serves as a fundamental building block for composing more intricate Tangut characters, which are known for their high number of strokes and structural variety. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates the digital preservation and study of historical Tangut texts, which document the extinct Tangut language and its culture, though the component itself does not carry independent phonetic or semantic meaning.
