U+185E0 "𘗠" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+185E0 "𘗠" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific grapheme from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in China to represent the extinct Tangut language. This ideograph, like all Tangut characters, was created as part of a large, deliberately invented logographic script that was modeled on Chinese characters but is structurally distinct, with many components that do not correspond to Chinese radicals. The character "𘗠" is encoded in the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which was added in version 9.0 released in 2016, to facilitate digital preservation and scholarly study of this ancient script. Its specific meaning and pronunciation are recorded in historical dictionaries of the Tangut language, contributing to the ongoing research into the civilization that created it.
