U+17001 "𗀁" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗀁
U+17001 "𗀁" Tangut Ideograph-# is a representation of a written sign from the extinct Tangut script, used to record the Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to 13th centuries. This character belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which encodes thousands of logographic glyphs that were deciphered from manuscripts and inscriptions. As a specific ideograph, it carries a unique phonetic and semantic value within the Tangut writing system, a complex script modeled partly after Chinese characters but with distinct construction principles and pronunciation. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and modern study of this historical language.
