U+18188 "𘆈" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+18188 "𘆈" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific graphical symbol from the Tangut script, which was historically used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries) in northwestern China. This character represents one of the thousands of logograms that formed the Tangut script, a complex writing system inspired by Chinese characters but structurally distinct. Its precise meaning in the Tangut language is not fully deciphered and is typically identified by its placeholder index number within the Unicode standard, as the script remains an active area of philological research. The character was encoded in the Tangut block of Unicode to support digital preservation and study of this ancient writing system.
