U+170E5 "𗃥" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗃥
U+170E5 "𗃥" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used between the 11th and 16th centuries to write the extinct Tangut language of the Tangut Empire in medieval China. This particular ideograph, designated as a character in the Tangut block of Unicode, represents a distinct morpheme or word, though its exact meaning and pronunciation have often been reconstructed through the study of bilingual texts and dictionaries like the "Pearl in the Palm." The character exemplifies the complex and highly structured nature of the Tangut script, which comprises thousands of characters, and is preserved in digital form to enable modern research, archival, and typographic use.
