U+170EB "𗃫" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗃫
U+170EB "𗃫" Tangut Ideograph-# is part of the Tangut script block, which encodes the extinct writing system of the Tangut Empire (11th–16th centuries) in Northwest China. This specific ideograph represents a single semantic concept from the vast Tangut lexicon, though its precise meaning remains undetermined due to the incomplete decipherment of the script. The character is identified by its unique hexadecimal code in the Unicode Standard's Plane 1 Supplementary Ideographic Plane, and its squared, intricate strokes reflect the complex orthography borrowed from Chinese calligraphy. Scholars continue to study such characters using fragmented dictionaries and bilingual texts to gradually reconstruct the language.
