U+1704C "𗁌" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𗁌

U+1704C "𗁌" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to document the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in northwestern China. This character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a single syllable or word and is composed of complex strokes that distinguish it from Chinese characters, though both systems share a visual similarity. Included in Unicode's Tangut block, which was encoded in 2016 to support scholarly research and digital preservation, U+1704C is part of a vast set of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, many of which remain undeciphered. Its exact meaning is not widely documented outside specialized linguistic databases, but it reflects the sophisticated literary and administrative culture of the Tangut civilization.
