U+17216 "ð—ˆ–" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð—ˆ–
U+17216 "ð—ˆ–" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. It represents a single semantic character whose precise meaning and pronunciation have been reconstructed through scholarly analysis of Tangut lexicographic sources, particularly the Pearl in the Palm dictionary. As part of the Tangut block in Unicode, this ideograph contributes to the digital preservation of a historical script that was deciphered in the 20th century, allowing researchers and linguists to study and encode the complex, siniform characters that once served as the official written language of the Tangut Empire.
