Unicode Version 17.0

ð—±–

U+17C56 "ð—±–" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used for the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 C.E.) in present-day northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut block of Unicode, which includes thousands of ideographs that were deciphered from historical manuscripts and inscriptions, each representing a unique syllable or concept from the Tangut lexicon. As a component of a complex, highly pictographic script consisting of over 6,000 known characters, U+17C56 contributes to the scholarly effort to reconstruct and understand the linguistic, cultural, and administrative records of the Tangut civilization, often studied through key sources like the Pearl in the Palm Buddhist text and law codes.
