U+170EC "𗃬" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗃬
U+170EC "𗃬" Tangut Ideograph-# is part of the Tangut script block, a historical writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries) in what is now northwestern China. This specific ideograph represents a single character from the Tangut script, which was created by imperial decree to write the Tangut language (a Tibeto-Burman language), and its meaning corresponds to a particular word or concept in that now extinct language. Encoded in Unicode to preserve the textual heritage of the Tangut civilization, it is one of thousands of Tangut ideographs that scholars continue to study to reconstruct the phonetics and semantics of this complex logographic writing system.
