U+1888B "𘢋" Tangut Component-140 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1888B "𘢋" Tangut Component-140 is a fundamental graphic element from the Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–14th centuries). This component is typically a structural part of larger, more complex Tangut characters, often appearing in the upper or left portion of a glyph and representing a common radical or stroke pattern. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard helps enable digital preservation and study of Tangut texts, as this script was only deciphered in the early 20th century and contains thousands of distinct characters. The precise semantic or phonetic meaning of Component 140 can vary when combined with other elements, as Tangut characters are often logographic or ideographic in nature.
