U+180C9 "𘃉" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+180C9 "𘃉" Tangut Ideograph-# is a component of the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty. This specific ideograph represents a single lexical unit from a vast corpus of roughly 6,000 known Tangut characters, which were deciphered in the early 20th century from multilingual inscriptions and dictionaries. Its meaning corresponds to a Chinese equivalent in the *Pearl in the Palm*, a key Tangut-Chinese bilingual glossary. As part of the Tangut block in Unicode, U+180C9 aids in the digital preservation and scholarly study of this unique writing system, which was developed in the 11th century to unify the Tangut people’s spoken language with a formalized written form.
