Unicode Version 17.0
𗇤
U+171E4 "𗇤" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used in the Tangut Empire, which existed in what is now northwestern China from the 11th to the 14th centuries. This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of logographic symbols that represent the Tangut language, a now-extinct Tibeto-Burman language. The Tangut script is known for its complexity, with over 6,000 known characters, and U+171E4 is one of these ideographs, though its precise meaning and pronunciation are often determined through scholarly research into historical texts, such as the Tangut translation of Buddhist sutras and legal documents.
