U+17171 "ð—…±" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð—…±
U+17171 "ð—…±" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific graphical element from the historical Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph represents a logographic symbol rather than a phonetic letter, and its exact meaning and pronunciation are part of the ongoing scholarly work in deciphering the Tangut script, which was reconstructed largely from bilingual texts and glossaries like the "Pearl in the Palm." As a character in the Tangut block of Unicode, it serves as a digital representation of a small piece of a once lost writing system, enabling modern researchers and enthusiasts to preserve and study this unique cultural heritage.
