U+18A98 "𘪘" Tangut Component-665 is a graphical element from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This specific component, identified as part of the Tangut Components block in Unicode, represents a fundamental building block or radical that combines with other components to form full Tangut characters, each of which traditionally conveyed a distinct syllable or word. Its purpose is to aid in the digital encoding and scholarly analysis of Tangut texts, allowing researchers to dissect and reconstruct the script's intricate composition without using fully formed characters. The component itself is rendered as a stylized, abstract line drawing, reflecting the highly systematic and ornate structure of the Tangut writing system.
