U+17C00 "ð—°€" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð—°€
U+17C00 "ð—°€" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single ideograph from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This specific character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a morpheme or word and is composed of strokes arranged in a dense square block, though its exact meaning has not been definitively identified. It falls within the Tangut Supplement block of Unicode, added in version 9.0 (2016) to support digital preservation of historical scripts. Researchers decipher these ideographs through comparative analysis of excavated texts and dictionaries, as the Tangut script was largely forgotten after the empire's fall.
