U+17003 "𗀃" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗀃
U+17003 "𗀃" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This particular ideograph represents an unknown or unassigned glyph within the Tangut block of Unicode, as its exact meaning and pronunciation have not been definitively determined by scholars. It is part of a larger corpus of over 6,000 Tangut characters that were deciphered through decades of linguistic research, with many still awaiting full interpretation. The character is encoded in the Supplementary Ideographic Plane and serves as a digital placeholder for ongoing philological study of this complex, logosyllabic script.
