U+17BC6 "𗯆" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗯆
U+17BC6 "𗯆" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific grapheme from the Tangut script, an extinct logographic writing system used from the 11th to 16th centuries to record the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block of Unicode, which contains thousands of ideograms representing Tangut words, many of which have yet to be fully deciphered or assigned modern meanings. Like all Tangut characters, it is composed of dense, square-like strokes that can be narrowed but not reduced, and it lacks any established semantic or phonetic value in contemporary scholarship. Its inclusion in Unicode supports the digital preservation and study of this ancient script.
