U+18930 "𘤰" Tangut Component-305 is part of the Tangut Components block within the Unicode Standard, which was added to support the reconstruction and digital encoding of the Tangut script used by the Tangut Empire in northwestern China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This specific component represents a fundamental graphical element, or subcharacter unit, that is combined with other components to form the complex logographic characters of the Tangut writing system, which was deciphered primarily from texts discovered in the 20th century.
