Unicode Version 17.0
𘣃
U+188C3 "𘣃" Tangut Component-196 is a graphical element from the Tangut script's set of 512 defined components, which were used to construct the thousands of logographic characters in the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This specific component, visually resembling a stylized horizontal bar or bracket, serves as a building block within the larger Tangut character repertoire, and its inclusion in Unicode under the Tangut Components block enables scholars and digital users to represent, analyze, and reconstruct the complex composition of Tangut characters for historical and linguistic research.
