U+18878 "𘡸" Tangut Component-121 is a graphical element used in the reconstruction and digital encoding of the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system employed during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This component, part of the Tangut Components block within Unicode, represents a foundational stroke or partial glyph that combines with other such units to form complete Tangut characters, which number in the thousands.
