Unicode Version 17.0

𘦥

U+189A5 "𘦥" Tangut Component-422 is a specific graphical element from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This component is part of the Tangut Ideographic character set, which traditionally comprises thousands of ideograms, but in Unicode it is encoded as a "component" used in the composition of more complex Tangut ideographs. U+189A5 represents a fundamental stroke or radical within the script, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital representation, storage, and study of the Tangut writing system, which was deciphered primarily through the analysis of the dictionary "Pearl in the Palm" and other archaeological discoveries. This character's precise graphical shape is defined by the Tangut component block in the Unicode Standard, enabling accurate rendering and scholarly work on this historical script.
