U+18787 "𘞇" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+18787 "𘞇" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, a writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia Dynasty (11th-14th centuries). This character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a single syllable or word and was inscribed in the vast body of Tangut Buddhist texts and official documents that were rediscovered in the 20th century. The Tangut script, known for its thousands of intricate characters, was created by imperial decree and is distinct from Chinese, though influenced by it. U+18787 belongs to the Tangut Supplement block and is one of many ideographs being systematically encoded in Unicode to preserve and enable digital research of this historical language. Its specific meaning is documented in Tangut dictionaries, often derived from the monumental "Pearl in the Palm" lexicographic work.
