U+17BE8 "𗯨" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17BE8 "𗯨" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character resides in the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which includes over 6,000 ideographs that represent individual words or syllables, each with a unique pronunciation and meaning. As part of the larger effort to digitally preserve historical scripts, this ideograph is cataloged in the Tangut Ideographs Supplement range, but its exact semantic value has not been widely publicized in standard references, making it a subject of ongoing philological study among specialists in Sino-Tibetan linguistics and medieval Central Asian history.
