U+171A2 "𗆢" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗆢
U+171A2 "𗆢" Tangut Ideograph-# is a complex logogram from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used for the Tangut language of the Xixia Empire (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This specific character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which encodes over 6,000 known Tangut glyphs, and it represents a particular lexical or grammatical morpheme from the language, though its exact meaning and reading are typically documented in specialist databases due to the script's largely undeciphered nature. The character is displayed using a double-byte encoding in modern digital systems, allowing scholars and linguists to study, annotate, and preserve historical texts from the Xixia period.
