Unicode Version 17.0
𗯡
U+17BE1 "𗯡" Tangut Ideograph-# is a component of the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used for the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This ideograph, like others in the Tangut block, is not yet fully decoded or assigned a definitive semantic meaning; it is cataloged for historical and linguistic preservation rather than everyday use. Its representation in the Unicode standard allows scholars and digital researchers to encode and analyze this ancient script, which remains a focus of paleographic study due to the complexity of its numerous logographic characters.
