Unicode Version 17.0
𗈁
U+17201 "𗈁" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system historically used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character corresponds to one of over 6,000 known Tangut ideographs that were deciphered in the 20th century from manuscripts and inscriptions, primarily representing a unique phonetic or semantic value within that language’s complex system. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard under the Tangut block allows for digital preservation and scholarly research of this ancient script, which was rediscovered in the early 1900s and is now encoded for modern computing.
