Unicode Block - Tangut Components Supplement

Tangut Components Supplement is a collection of abstract character components used to encode the Tangut script, a historical writing system from the Western Xia dynasty. These components represent structural parts of Tangut characters, such as strokes, radicals, or partial forms, that are not themselves full characters but are essential for computational processing, sorting, and font development of the script. The set includes both simple and complex shapes, many of which appear in the standard Tangut character set as sub-elements, and it was designed to facilitate the systematic decomposition and analysis of Tangut text, particularly for dictionary lookup and digital typography. It complements the main Tangut block by providing a dedicated space for these recurring fragments, ensuring that they can be encoded separately without conflating them with complete characters.
