U+17C6C "𗱬" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𗱬

U+17C6C "𗱬" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty in China (11th–14th centuries). This character belongs to a vast syllabary of over 6,000 logographic signs, each representing a distinct syllable or morpheme, and its precise meaning or phonetic value has typically been reconstructed by scholars through analysis of bilingual texts and dictionaries, such as the "Pearl in the Palm" manuscript. The inclusion of this ideograph in Unicode through the Tangut block enables digital preservation and research into this historically significant but little-known writing system, allowing modern linguists and historians to study and share texts that were once indecipherable.
