U+1720A "𗈊" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗈊
U+1720A "𗈊" Tangut Ideograph-# is a historical logograph from the Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia Empire (11th–13th centuries). This specific ideograph represents one of thousands of characters in the Tangut script, a complex writing system inspired by Chinese characters but with its own unique structure and pronunciation. The character is encoded in the Unicode Tangut block, which was added to support digital preservation and study of this ancient script, and its precise meaning remains a subject of ongoing philological research due to the limited surviving texts and the difficulty of deciphering Tangut phonology and semantics.
