U+17BF9 "𗯹" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17BF9 "𗯹" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty in China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a single morpheme or word and was officially added to the Unicode Standard in 2016 as part of the Tangut block, which encodes thousands of these intricate characters to preserve and enable digital study of this historically significant writing system. Its exact meaning and pronunciation remain largely unknown to modern scholars, as only a relatively small portion of the Tangut script has been fully deciphered.
