U+18740 "𘝀" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which was added to support the study and digital preservation of historical texts. Like all Tangut characters, "𘝀" was created based on the complex principles of the script, which often combines radical and phonetic components. Its precise meaning is defined in the authoritative eleventh-century dictionary "The Sea of Characters" and is used in historical Buddhist and administrative manuscripts.
