U+18979 "𘥹" Tangut Component-378 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘥹

U+18979 "𘥹" Tangut Component-378 is a part of the Tangut Components block, which encodes graphical sub-units used to build the complex logographs of the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used for the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th-13th centuries). This specific component, numbered 378 in the radical-stroke index, represents a recurring visual element found within larger Tangut characters, and it was designated for inclusion in Unicode to support scholarly research, digital typography, and the preservation of this historic script. The Tangut Components block, introduced in Unicode version 13.0 (2020), provides a standardized way to encode these fundamental building blocks separately from full Tangut ideographs, facilitating analysis of character composition and enabling more precise rendering and study of the script’s complex structure.
