Unicode Version 17.0

𘧈

U+189C8 "𘧈" Tangut Component-457 is a component used in the construction of characters from the Tangut script, a historical writing system of the Tangut Empire in medieval China. This component does not stand alone as a complete word or character but serves as a structural building block within more complex Tangut logograms. It was encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Tangut Components block to support scholarly research and digital preservation of the script, which was deciphered primarily through the study of the Tangut dictionary known as the "Pearl in the Palm." The specific visual form of component-457 contributes to the intricate, stroke-based anatomy of Tangut characters, reflecting the script's unique calligraphic and orthographic conventions.
