U+171BE "𗆾" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+171BE "𗆾" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, which was historically used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This character is part of the Unicode standard's Tangut block, introduced to preserve and digitally represent the complex logographic system that comprises thousands of ideographs. Each Tangut ideograph, including this one, corresponds to a particular meaning or phonetic value, though the exact semantic interpretation of U+171BE is often cataloged by its index number in scholarly inventories rather than a common modern definition. Its encoding allows linguists, historians, and digital humanities researchers to study, archive, and faithfully display ancient Tangut texts in electronic form.
