U+17136 "𗄶" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17136 "𗄶" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This character is one of thousands of ideographs in the Tangut block of Unicode, encoded to preserve and digitally represent the complex historical script, which was deciphered in the 20th century. Its precise meaning, like many Tangut characters, remains tied to scholarly research, often documented in the Tangut-to-Chinese dictionary "The Sea of Characters" and related texts, and it exemplifies the unique, siniform (Chinese-style) but structurally independent nature of Tangut writing.
