U+17055 "𗁕" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗁕
U+17055 "𗁕" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single ideograph from the Tangut script, a historically significant writing system used for the extinct Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This specific character is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of logograms that were deciphered from manuscripts and inscriptions. The Tangut script is notable for its complex composition, often created from combinations of radical-like elements, and "𗁕" represents one of the many distinct signs used to record the Tangut language, which is a now-lost Sino-Tibetan language. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and facilitate digital study of this ancient civilization's written heritage.
