U+17B89 "𗮉" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17B89 "𗮉" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single ideograph from the Tangut script, a historically significant writing system used for the extinct Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This character, like all Tangut ideographs, is logographic, meaning it represents a word or morpheme, though its exact meaning is often unknown or unverified in modern databases, with the "#" symbol indicating that it lacks a definitive semantic classification or reading. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard as part of the Tangut block (U+17000–U+18AFF) ensures digital preservation and study of this ancient script, which was decoded primarily through the discovery of bilingual Chinese-Tangut texts.
