U+17BFD "𗯽" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗯽
U+17BFD "𗯽" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logographic glyph from the Tangut script, a historically obsolete writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwest China. This character, which belongs to a large block of over 6,000 Tangut ideographs encoded in Unicode's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, represents a specific word or morpheme with a unique meaning and pronunciation that scholars have partially reconstructed through comparative studies of bilingual texts and dictionary fragments. Its precise semantic value remains an area of ongoing philological research, as many Tangut characters still lack full decipherment due to the limited corpus of surviving manuscripts.
