Unicode Version 17.0
𗯤
U+17BE4 "𗯤" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia Empire during the 11th to 16th centuries. This ideograph does not have a publicly assigned semantic meaning in modern Unicode documentation, as its definitive phonetic or lexical value remains unknown due to the incomplete decipherment of the Tangut script. It is encoded in Plane 1 of Unicode within the Tangut block, which was added to the standard in version 9.0 released in 2016, primarily to support scholarly research and digital preservation of this ancient writing system.
