U+170D8 "𗃘" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+170D8 "𗃘" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific coded character representing a single logograph from the Tangut script, a complex writing system used by the extinct Tangut Empire in northwestern China between the 11th and 16th centuries. This ideograph is part of a vast repertoire of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, which were modeled after Chinese characters but exhibit distinct phonetic and semantic structures. While the precise meaning of U+170D8 may not be universally known, its inclusion in Unicode preserves a fragment of a dead language that was deciphered primarily through the study of the "Pearl in the Palm" bilingual glossary and other manuscript fragments. The character code itself is classified under the Unicode block for Tangut Ideographs, supporting global digital representation and scholarly research into this ancient script.
