Tangut Components Supplement Unicode Block

The Tangut Components Supplement Unicode block is a newly added section in Unicode 16.0. It's intended to encode additional components and radicals used for the Tangut script, a logographic writing system formerly used for the extinct Tangut language. These components are essential for the modern study of Tangut, particularly for lexicography and indexing. The new block supplements the existing Tangut Components block by including a set of previously unencoded radicals and components identified in a recent, comprehensive Tangut dictionary. The Tangut script is a logographic system, similar to Chinese characters, but with different formation principles. The components are the smaller parts that make up the larger, more complex characters. The supplement block ensures a more complete digital representation of the Tangut script for scholarly and archival purposes.
