Unicode Version 17.0
U+171EB "𗇫" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE).

The character represents a unique graphic form typical of Tangut writing, which features complex, block-like strokes and was heavily influenced by Chinese characters in structure, though it functions independently as a component of a largely undeciphered corpus. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and facilitate digital study of this historical script, but without a confirmed reading or translation, U+171EB primarily serves as a placeholder for ongoing linguistic and archaeological research into the Tang
