Unicode Version 17.0

𗁦

U+17066 "𗁦" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries), known for its complex logographic structure of over 6,000 known characters. This particular ideograph, identified in the Unicode Standard within the Tangut block, represents a single morpheme or word from that historical language, with its exact meaning and pronunciation often reconstructed by scholars through comparative studies of ancient texts. Its inclusion in Unicode since version 9.0 (2016) enables digital preservation and modern research into this unique script, offering a bridge to a medieval civilization that once flourished in present-day northwestern China.
