U+171FB "𗇻" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗇻
U+171FB "𗇻" Tangut Ideograph-# is a part of the Tangut script block, which encodes the historical writing system of the Tangut Empire that flourished in northwestern China during the 11th to 13th centuries. This specific ideograph is one of thousands of logographic characters used in the Tangut language, which was deciphered primarily from texts like the Pearl in the Palm, a Tangut-Chinese bilingual glossary. The character represents a specific lexical entry in that extinct language, though its exact meaning or phonetic value is not always fully defined for every ideograph due to the incomplete nature of modern scholarship. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this unique script.
