U+18730 "𘜰" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+18730 "𘜰" Tangut Ideograph-# is a character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) to record the extinct Tangut language. This specific ideograph has an uncertain or provisional semantic meaning, as many Tangut characters remain undeciphered or are known only through their phonetic components and occasional contextual clues from excavated texts such as the "Tangut Code" or Buddhist translations. It belongs to a large block of over 6,000 Tangut ideographs encoded in Unicode starting from version 9.0, which supplements the original Tangut block and is used primarily by scholars for historical linguistic research and digital preservation of the defunct Tangut literature.
