Unicode Version 17.0
𗂸
U+170B8 "𗂸" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This ideograph is part of the "Tangut Ideographs" block in Unicode, which was added to support the digital encoding of thousands of logographic characters deciphered from Tangut manuscripts. The character itself holds a unique semantic value, though its exact meaning is often referenced by its index number in standard Tangut dictionaries, representing a phonetically or semantically distinct concept within the historical language.
