Unicode Version 17.0
𗂨
U+170A8 "𗂨" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Tangut Empire in northwestern China during the 11th to 16th centuries. This character belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which encodes over 6,000 ideographs from the dynasty’s rich literary heritage. Like all Tangut characters, "𗂨" represents a syllable or morpheme from that language, though its precise meaning is not widely known due to the limited number of modern scholars who have fully deciphered the script. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and allow digital representation of this rare historical writing system.
