Unicode Version 17.0
U+17C23 "𗰣" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, which was included to support scholarly research and digital preservation of the extinct language, as the script consists of over 6,000 logographic characters. The meaning of this particular character is not widely known without specialized dictionaries, as the Tangut script remains only partially deciphered, but it represents a single morpheme or word from the Tangut lexicon. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for accurate digital representation and study of historical texts, aiding linguists and historians in their work on this unique and complex writing system.
