U+171D4 "𗇔" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗇔
U+171D4 "𗇔" Tangut Ideograph-# is an ideograph from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used for the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This specific character remains largely unglossed, meaning its exact meaning and phonetic value are not yet definitively identified by scholars, as the vast corpus of Tangut texts is only partially deciphered. It is included in the Tangut Supplement block of Unicode, which was added to support the growing digital study and preservation of historical Tangut documents.
