U+18DC8 "𘷈" Tangut Component-841 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘷈
U+18DC8 "𘷈" Tangut Component-841 is a grapheme from the Tangut script, which was historically used in the Tangut Empire of northwestern China between the 11th and 16th centuries. This specific component represents a foundational structural element of Tangut characters, analogous to a radical in Chinese writing, but within the far more numerous Tangut character set, which comprised thousands of logographs. As a designated component in the Unicode Standard's Tangut block, it serves as a building block for encoding the complex, script-like syllabary that was invented by imperial decree and only fully deciphered in modern times through painstaking analysis of manuscripts and bilingual inscriptions.
