U+171B5 "𗆵" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+171B5 "𗆵" Tangut Ideograph-# is part of the Tangut script block, representing a specific ideograph from the extinct Tangut language once used in the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This character corresponds to a unique logogram in the Tangut writing system, which consists of thousands of complex characters derived from Chinese calligraphic influences but with its own distinct structure and phonological interpretations. The exact semantic meaning and pronunciation of U+171B5 have been partially reconstructed by scholars through analysis of Tangut texts and dictionaries, though many such ideographs remain incompletely understood due to the language's historical obscurity. Its inclusion in Unicode enables digital preservation and academic study of this ancient script.
