U+18908 "𘤈" Tangut Component-265 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘤈

U+18908 "𘤈" Tangut Component-265 is a graphical element from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This specific component is one of 757 Tangut ideographic radicals or building blocks recorded in the Unicode Standard, part of the Tangut Supplement block that encodes the intricate, stroke-based characters of this script. Unlike a complete Tangut character, Component-265 serves as a structural part used in combination with other components to form complex logographs, reflecting the script's construction from over 600 documented radicals. Its inclusion in Unicode enables digital preservation and academic study of this historically significant but now poorly understood writing system.
