U+17B8B "ð—®‹" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð—®‹
U+17B8B "ð—®‹" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the ancient Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This ideograph represents a discrete lexical or semantic unit within that complex script, which was deciphered largely through multilingual inscriptions and dictionaries discovered in the 20th century. Assigned to the Tangut block in Unicode, it facilitates digital preservation and research of the over six thousand known Tangut characters, allowing scholars and linguists to analyze its phonetic, morphological, and contextual roles in historical texts such as Buddhist scriptures and legal documents.
