U+188B4 "𘢴" Tangut Component-181 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘢴
U+188B4 "𘢴" Tangut Component-181 is a graphic element from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to 13th centuries. This particular component, numbered 181 in the official Unicode component list, serves as a building block for more complex Tangut ideographs, typically representing a stroke pattern or a generic semantic root that combines with other components to form full characters. It is encoded in the Tangut Components block of Unicode, which standardizes these basic orthographic units to support digital text processing and historical linguistic research into this once lost language.
