Unicode Version 17.0
𗃕
U+170D5 "𗃕" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an extinct logographic writing system used for the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This character represents one of the thousands of ideographs in the Tangut script, which was deciphered through the study of bilingual inscriptions and the only known Tangut dictionary, the "Pearl in the Palm." In modern terms, the character is cataloged in the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, encoding it for digital use, though its precise meaning and pronunciation remain unknown as many Tangut characters, including this one, have not yet been fully deciphered by scholars.
