Unicode Version 17.0

𗁞

U+1705E "𗁞" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This ideograph is part of a large block of Tangut characters encoded in Unicode’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane, representing one of over six thousand known logographs. While its precise meaning and pronunciation are not universally confirmed due to the limited decipherment of the Tangut script, it belongs to a corpus of texts that include Buddhist scriptures, legal documents, and dictionaries. Codified in Unicode 9.0 in 2016, this character helps ensure digital preservation and global access to this rare linguistic artifact, though it may not render correctly without appropriate fonts or system support for ancient scripts.
