Unicode Version 17.0

𘣯

U+188EF "𘣯" Tangut Component-240 is a graphical element used in the digital representation of the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty. This specific component, identified by the numbering system for Tangut radicals and subcomponents, functions as a building block for composing more complex Tangut logographs within the Unicode standard. The term "component" indicates that it is not a complete character by itself but rather a constituent part that combines with other elements to form full Tangut ideograms. Its inclusion in Unicode supports scholarly research, digital preservation, and the accurate encoding of Tangut texts, allowing for the electronic rendering and study of this ancient script.
