Tangut Component-007

It is an index part, not a standalone Tangut word. It names a structural piece used to organize full Tangut characters and to write Ideographic Description Sequences (IDS), a notation describing how a character is built. As of 2026, Unicode assigns 𘠆 an index label, not a standalone translation or pronunciation.

The Tangut script was disseminated around 1036 under the Tangut-led Western Xia (Xixia) kingdom to write the Tangut language. Tangut texts survive in official, personal, and religious books—including Buddhist scriptures—as well as inscriptions and manuscripts. Scholars later assembled component inventories from multiple dictionaries and publications; no single component set was universal. A medieval Tangut dictionary grouped full characters by their source parts, but the meaning or sound role belonged to the complete character, not an isolated shape.

Unicode groups Tangut with Khitan and Jurchen, historic scripts with Chinese-like character structures. That grouping describes a shared structural approach; it does not establish that Tangut borrowed this component from either script.

How do I type this Tangut component?

Use a Unicode escape in your programming language. The value is U+18806; escape syntax differs by language.

If it appears as a square, the font displaying it lacks Tangut Components coverage. As of 2026, Noto Serif Tangut documents coverage for that block. Other fonts can draw the same encoded character with different stroke details; that changes appearance, not identity.
