U+18718 "𘜘" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific encoded character from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in China. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block of Unicode, which contains thousands of logographic symbols that were used for writing the Tangut language. The Tangut script was created in the 11th century and features a complex set of characters that are visually distinct from Chinese characters, though they share a similar logographic principle. The precise meaning and pronunciation of this particular ideograph are determined through scholarly research based on Tangut dictionaries and texts, as the script is no longer in active use and has been the subject of modern decipherment efforts.
