Unicode Version 17.0
𗈏
U+1720F "𗈏" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the now extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. Coded in the Tangut block of Unicode, this ideograph represents a specific lexical unit or concept, though its exact meaning is not widely known outside specialized scholarship. The character's inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitize this historical script, enabling researchers to study Tangut texts and linguists to decode the language, which was only deciphered in the early 20th century through the discovery of bilingual inscriptions and manuscripts.
