U+18955 "𘥕" Tangut Component-342 is a graphic element derived from the historical Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty. This specific component, designated as component number 342 in the Unicode Tangut Components block, serves as a fundamental building block for constructing more complex Tangut characters, much like a radical or a semantic-phonetic element in Chinese writing.
