U+17028 "𗀨" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17028 "𗀨" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This character, like all Tangut ideographs, is highly complex in structure, composed of multiple strokes that form a logogram representing a word or morpheme, though its exact meaning is often unknown or debated among scholars due to the limited corpus of deciphered texts. It belongs to the Tangut block of Unicode, a modern addition to enable digital preservation and study of this historical script, which was rediscovered in the 20th century through manuscripts and monumental inscriptions.
