Unicode Version 17.0

𘣅

U+188C5 "𘣅" Tangut Component-198 is a graphic element used in the composition of Tangut script, a logographic writing system employed for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This component represents one of the over 600 distinct radicals or building blocks that combine to form thousands of complex Tangut characters, each typically representing a single morpheme. Its specific visual structure and meaning are part of the reconstructed Tangut script, which was deciphered in the 20th century from manuscripts and inscriptions. As a component, it does not stand alone as a complete character but serves as a recurring partial shape, helping linguists and typographers analyze and digitally encode the intricate Tangut writing system for modern Unicode representation.
