U+188A5 "𘢥" Tangut Component-166 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+188A5 "𘢥" Tangut Component-166 is one of the many graphical building blocks used to construct the complex logographic characters of the Tangut script, a writing system developed during the 11th century in the Tangut Empire of Emperor Li Yuanhao. This specific component, classified as part of the Tangut Components block in the Unicode Standard, serves as a compositional element rather than a full stand-alone character, aiding in the representation of the thousands of Tangut ideographs. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates the digital study, display, and preservation of this extinct script, which was used primarily for administrative and religious texts until the empire's decline, with most known examples now found in manuscript collections such as the Tangut version of the Buddhist canon.
