U+17124 "𗄤" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17124 "𗄤" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logograph from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This specific ideograph, cataloged as part of the Tangut Supplement block in Unicode, represents a distinct morpheme or word in the Tangut lexicon, though its exact modern reading and meaning are often topics of scholarly reconstruction from historical manuscripts and dictionaries. The character is notably complex, constructed from multiple strokes arranged in a dense square formation, reflecting the script's heavy influence from Chinese calligraphy while maintaining its own unique system of over 6,000 known characters. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that this and other Tangut characters can be digitally preserved, studied, and displayed without relying on specialized fonts.
