U+17B98 "𗮘" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗮘
U+17B98 "𗮘" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language (also known as Xixia) during the Tangut Empire in northwestern China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This character resides in the Unicode block for Tangut ideographs, which was added to the standard to preserve and digitally represent the vast array of over 6,000 known Tangut signs. The exact meaning and pronunciation of this particular ideograph are not widely known outside specialist philological research, as the script was largely deciphered in the 20th century through the study of bilingual texts, primarily a Chinese-Tangut glossary.
