Tangut Component-234

It is a structural piece used to build and index Tangut characters.

Tangut script emerged around 1036 as a way to write the Tangut language and appears in official, private, and religious texts. A Tangut text translated as Homonyms lists 𘣩 as a component and shows it in regular and cursive writing styles.

Inside a whole character, a component may help signal meaning or sound; its role can change from one host character to another. So 𘣩 has no one reading or translation by itself. Dictionaries from the Western Xia period used different radical-indexing systems, so “Tangut radical” refers to a category in a particular index.

How do I type or use 𘣩?

Use it in structural descriptions or enter it with Unicode input.

An Ideographic Description Sequence (IDS) uses operators to show how pieces sit side by side or are stacked in a larger character. The example sequences show structure; they are not word spellings.

This character sits in Unicode’s supplementary plane, the range beyond its basic set, so entry depends on the tools your operating system provides. A character map or Unicode-entry method can accept U+188E9.
