U+17BB8 "𗮸" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗮸
U+17BB8 "𗮸" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of visually complex symbols that each represent a syllable or morpheme rather than individual sounds. As with many Tangut ideographs, its precise meaning and phonetic value are determined by contextual references from historical dictionaries and texts, though the exact definition of U+17BB8 may remain obscure or unconfirmed in modern scholarship.
