U+17BEB "𗯫" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗯫
U+17BEB "𗯫" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the now-extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). Encoded in Unicode’s Tangut block, this ideograph represents a distinct lexical or phonetic unit, though its precise meaning is not widely documented in standard references. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves a fragment of a sophisticated logographic system that was deciphered in the 20th century, allowing scholars and digital archivists to study and represent historical texts from the Silk Road era.
