Unicode Version 17.0

𗃓

U+170D3 "𗃓" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China. This ideograph represents a unique lexical or semantic value within the Tangut corpus, which was deciphered primarily through the study of the bilingual Tangut Chinese "Pearl in the Palm" glossary and other excavated texts. Encoding "𗃓" in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and scholarly analysis of this historical script, facilitating research in linguistics, medieval Chinese history, and the broader understanding of non alphabetic writing systems. The character is part of the Tangut block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to support the growing need for standardized encoding of endangered or historical scripts.
