Unicode Version 17.0
ð—…¬
U+1716C "ð—…¬" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This character is part of the Tangut ideographs block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of complex logographic symbols unique to this historical civilization. The Tangut script was devised in 1036 by imperial decree and features a highly intricate structure with over 6,000 known characters, each representing a syllable or semantic concept, and U+1716C remains largely unannotated in modern dictionaries, its exact meaning and pronunciation often unknown or disputed among scholars.
