U+18A38 "𘨸" Tangut Component-569 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘨸
U+18A38 "𘨸" Tangut Component-569 is a specific graphic element derived from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This component, cataloged in the Unicode Tangut Components block, serves as a building block for constructing more complex Tangut logograms, much like radicals in Chinese characters. Its precise meaning or phonetic value is not independently defined, as it exists primarily as a structural unit within the larger system of over 6,000 documented Tangut characters, which were deciphered through historical research and comparison with texts like the Tangut dictionary "Pearl in the Palm."
