U+18DE7 "𘷧" Tangut Component-872 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18DE7 "𘷧" Tangut Component-872 is a component part of the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used during the Tangut Empire in northwestern China between the 11th and 16th centuries. This specific component represents a single graphical element from a much larger set of over 6,000 Tangut characters, which were themselves composed from a finite repertoire of such reusable components. The Tangut script was designed to write the extinct Tangut language, and its characters were structurally complex, often built by combining left and right radicals or other component parts. Today, Unicode’s inclusion of Tangut components like U+18DE7 aids scholars and digital typographers in studying, encoding, and reconstructing the script, preserving a key artifact of medieval East Asian civilization for modern research and computing.
