Unicode Version 17.0
𗀘
U+17018 "𗀘" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, which was historically used to write the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block, encoded in Unicode version 9.0 released in 2016, and represents a unique logographic symbol that remains largely undeciphered or partially understood by scholars. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard preserves this culturally significant writing system, assisting in digital documentation and study of Tangut texts found on manuscripts and steles.
