U+18838 "𘠸" Tangut Component-057 is a standardised element of the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used during the Tangut Empire in northwestern China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This specific component, numbered 057, serves as a basic building block for constructing more complex Tangut logographic characters, analogous to a radical in Chinese.
