U+171E1 "𗇡" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+171E1 "𗇡" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single ideograph from the historical Tangut script, a complex writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This character was officially encoded in Unicode version 9.0 in 2016 as part of the Tangut block, which comprises thousands of logographic symbols that were deciphered from excavated manuscripts. Like all Tangut ideographs, its precise meaning, pronunciation, and usage are studied through comparative linguistic analysis of Buddhist texts and administrative documents, though many characters remain only partially understood. The inclusion of U+171E1 in the Unicode Standard ensures its digital representation and preservation for researchers and typographers working with this rare and historically significant script.
