U+17118 "𗄘" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗄘
U+17118 "𗄘" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, which was historically used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in present-day northwestern China. This particular glyph represents an ideograph with a defined meaning in the reconstructed Tangut lexicon, though its exact semantic value may vary based on scholarly interpretation due to the script's complexity and the limited corpus of surviving texts. As part of the Tangut block in Unicode, it encodes a symbol that was used in official, religious, and literary documents prior to the 14th century, and its inclusion in the standard allows for digital preservation and study of this unique writing system.
