Unicode Version 17.0
U+17040 "𗁀" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single glyph representing one of the thousands of logograms used to write the Tangut language, a now-extinct Tibeto-Burman language of the Tangut Empire (11th-13th centuries) in northwestern China. This particular character is part of the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to support scholarly research and digital preservation of the Tangut script, a complex writing system with over 6,000 known characters originally inscribed on manuscripts, stelae, and wooden slips. The exact meaning of this specific ideograph is documented in Tangut lexicons and often relates to concepts from the language's bureaucratic, Buddhist, or everyday vocabulary, though its precise definition requires consultation of specialized Sinological references.
