U+171C7 "𗇇" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+171C7 "𗇇" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single ideograph from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Xixia Empire (11th-13th centuries). This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, assigned as one component of the vast corpus of over six thousand known Tangut characters. Its precise meaning and pronunciation have been reconstructed by scholars through analysis of the Tangut dictionary "Pearl in the Palm" and other excavated texts, though for many such characters the specific phonetic and semantic interpretation remains provisional. The inclusion of this and other Tangut characters in Unicode ensures the digital preservation of the script, enabling academic research and digital typography for the study of this historically significant but now dead language.
