U+17BB3 "ð—®³" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð—®³
U+17BB3 "ð—®³" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific ideograph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This character represents a unique logogram that corresponds to a Tangut word or morpheme, though its precise meaning and pronunciation are not fully attested in modern scholarship. It is encoded in Plane 1 of Unicode, within the Tangut block, as part of an effort to digitally preserve the over 6,000 known Tangut characters. Researchers rely on multilingual dictionaries and Buddhist manuscript fragments to decode such ideographs, and this particular one remains cataloged under a general placeholder label, awaiting more detailed linguistic analysis.
