Unicode Version 17.0

𗇁

U+171C1 "𗇁" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, a writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people in the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This character is part of the Tangut block within Unicode, which includes thousands of ideographs that were painstakingly encoded to preserve the script’s complex structure of strokes and radicals. The precise meaning of this particular ideograph is not widely known outside specialized linguistic research, as many Tangut characters have uncertain translations due to the limited extant texts and the language’s isolation. Nonetheless, its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital representation and study of this historically significant script.
