U+170B7 "ð—‚·" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð—‚·

U+170B7 "ð—‚·" Tangut Ideograph-# is a member of the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This specific ideograph, like all Tangut characters, was carved from a complex, highly stylized set of logographs that number over six thousand, derived partly from Chinese calligraphy but with distinct construction principles. U+170B7 was encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the Tangut block, which was added in version 9.0 in 2016 to support digital preservation and study of this historical script. Although the exact meaning of this character is not provided in its Unicode description, it represents a singular lexical unit from a language that is only partially deciphered through surviving manuscripts, making it a significant artifact for philologists and historians working on the culture and governance of the Western Xia empire.
