U+18D16 "𘴖" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in northwestern China. This ideograph represents an individual word or morpheme from the Tangut language, which was transcribed in the 11th century by imperial scholar Yeli Renrong and is known for its complex and numerous characters, with over 6,000 distinct signs recorded in the Tangut dictionary "The Pearl in the Palm." The character U+18D16 is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which was added to enable digital representation and study of this historically significant but largely undeciphered script.
