U+17BC2 "𗯂" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty in China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This ideograph represents one of the thousands of logographs in the Tangut script, which was designed by imperial decree and is noted for its complex stroke patterns, with each character typically composed of many more strokes than Chinese characters. The specific meaning and phonetic value of U+17BC2 are documented in the Unicode Standard as part of the Tangut block, yet active research by scholars continues to decipher and catalogue the full semantic and lexical details of Tangut ideographs from historical manuscripts.
