Tangut Ideograph 17836

𗠶 is a character in Tangut, the language of Western Xia (Xixia). Unicode names it by number, not with a Tangut word or pronunciation, so the label cannot tell you what it says. Created around 1036 to write Tangut and express the state's identity, the separate script used Chinese-like square forms. Surviving Tangut texts span official records, Buddhist works, and translations from Chinese or Tibetan; writing outlasted Western Xia.
