Unicode Version 17.0

𗆀

U+17180 "𗆀" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph within the Tangut script, a historic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty. This character is one of thousands of Tangut ideographs encoded in the Unicode Standard's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, each representing a distinct word or morpheme. It was included in Unicode version 13.0 in 2020 as part of a large block addition to support digital preservation and study of the script, which was deciphered in the 20th century primarily through the discovery of bilingual texts. The character's exact meaning is assigned a provisional number rather than a definitive gloss, as ongoing research continues to refine the lexicon of this complex logographic system.
