U+17BA2 "𗮢" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗮢
U+17BA2 "𗮢" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) to record the Tangut language. This ideograph belongs to a large set of over 6,000 Tangut characters encoded in Unicode's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, and its precise meaning remains largely unknown to modern scholars due to limited deciphered texts. The character's glyph shape is complex and angular, typical of Tangut script's dense, square-like structure, and it appears in historical manuscripts and inscriptions found in the ruins of Khara-Khoto. Its encoding as U+17BA2 helps preserve and enable digital study of this ancient language and its unique writing system.
