𗀶
U+17036 "𗀶" Tangut Ideograph-# is part of the Tangut block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to encode the historical script of the Tangut Empire (11th–16th centuries) in what is now northwestern China. This specific ideograph represents one of the thousands of logographic characters used in the Tangut writing system, which was deciphered from manuscripts and inscriptions found primarily in the ruins of Khara-Khoto.
