U+188DE "𘣞" Tangut Component-223 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘣞
U+188DE "𘣞" Tangut Component-223 is a structural element from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–14th centuries). This component serves as a fundamental graphical building block that combines with other parts to form full Tangut ideographs, typically conveying a phonetic or semantic clue within a character. Its inclusion in the Unicode Tangut Supplement block reflects the ongoing digital preservation of this historically significant script, which was deciphered from manuscripts found in Khara-Khoto and elsewhere.
