U+183F1 "𘏱" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+183F1 "𘏱" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single Tangut ideograph representing a word from the extinct Tangut language, which was used in the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, and like all Tangut characters, it corresponds to a specific logographic meaning that is now understood through historical and linguistic research. Its form is typical of the complex, stroke heavy Tangut script, which was created in 1036 by imperial order and encoded thousands of distinct ideographs to write the language. The precise semantic value of this particular character can be looked up in specialized Tangut dictionaries, but its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent the written heritage of a once powerful but now lost civilization.
