U+170EA "𗃪" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+170EA "𗃪" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific grapheme from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This character belongs to the Tangut ideographs block, which was added to Unicode in version 9.0 in 2016, and it was originally used in historical texts such as the Tangut translation of Buddhist sutras and administrative documents. The exact meaning of this ideograph is not widely known outside specialist studies, as many Tangut characters remain under-researched due to the limited corpus of surviving manuscripts and the complexity of the script. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation, scholarly research, and cross-platform representation of this unique writing system.
