U+17BCD "𗯍" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𗯍

U+17BCD "𗯍" Tangut Ideograph-# is a glyph from the Tangut script, a historical logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in northwestern China. This character represents one of thousands of ideographs in the Tangut repertoire, which was deciphered in the 20th century largely through bilingual inscriptions and texts. In Unicode, it is classified under the Tangut block, with the "#" suffix indicating its provisional or unassigned semantic reading within modern scholarly reconstructions. The character itself holds no established meaning in contemporary usage, serving instead as a placeholder for a specific logogram whose pronunciation and definition remain unknown or unconfirmed by extant linguistic evidence.
