U+189C7 "𘧇" Tangut Component-456 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘧇

U+189C7 "𘧇" Tangut Component-456 is a graphic element from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Xi Xia Empire (1038–1227 CE) in present-day northwestern China. This component serves as a basic building block for forming more complex Tangut characters, which are logographic like Chinese characters but structurally distinct. Its precise semantic meaning is unclear outside of its role in character composition, as it represents a recurring stroke pattern or radical within the Tangut script's vast inventory of over six thousand known characters. The inclusion of U+189C7 in the Unicode Standard enables digital preservation and scholarly study of this historical script, which was deciphered in the early 20th century.
