U+1704E "𗁎" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1704E "𗁎" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, a collection of over 6,000 characters that were primarily deciphered from bilingual inscriptions and dictionaries, though many individual meanings remain uncertain. The Tangut script itself is logographic, with each character representing a word or morpheme, and U+1704E is identified by a numerical index rather than a known semantic value due to incomplete scholarly reconstruction. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent a significant piece of Central Asian linguistic heritage.
