Unicode Version 17.0

𘫹

U+18AF9 "𘫹" Tangut Component-762 is a graphic element from the Tangut script, a historically significant writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This specific component, numerically designated as 762 in the Tangut component list, represents one of the fundamental building blocks used in the creation of more complex Tangut ideographs, which were invented in the 11th century and are known for their high number of strokes and intricate structure. As part of the Tangut Components block within the Unicode Standard, this character serves primarily as a encoding reference for scholars and linguists studying the script’s composition, allowing them to analyze and reconstruct the script’s radical system and its thousands of logographic characters. The inclusion of such components in Unicode facilitates digital preservation and research into this ancient and largely undeciphered writing system, which is of great interest to historians and paleog
