U+18A2B "𘨫" Tangut Component-556 is a graphical element from the historical Tangut script, a complex writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty. Specifically designated as "component 556" in the Unicode standard, this character represents a fundamental structural part used in the construction of larger Tangut logograms, much like a radical in Chinese characters.
