U+17B8E "𗮎" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17B8E "𗮎" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This ideograph belongs to the Tangut block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of characters from the script's tens of thousands of known glyphs, many of which were deciphered from manuscripts and inscriptions. Like all Tangut characters, U+17B8E represents a single syllable or morpheme, but its exact meaning, phonetic value, and usage remain largely unglossed in current resources due to the script's partial decipherment. The character is identified by its unique code point in the Universal Character Set, providing a standardized digital representation for researchers and linguists studying this historical writing system.
