U+1839B "𘎛" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+1839B "𘎛" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an extinct logographic writing system used to record the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present day northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block within Unicode, which encodes thousands of complex characters that were deciphered primarily through the study of the 1994 Tangut Chinese bilingual dictionary known as the Pearl in the Palm. The Tangut script, inspired by Chinese characters but structurally distinct, was created by imperial decree under Emperor Li Yuanhao and fell out of use after the Mongol conquest, leaving only a small number of surviving manuscripts and inscriptions for modern scholars to analyze.
