U+17C6F "𗱯" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗱯
U+17C6F "𗱯" Tangut Ideograph-# is part of the Tangut script block, which encodes characters from the extinct Tangut language used in the Western Xia dynasty from 1036 to 1502. This specific ideograph represents a unique logographic symbol from the vast Tangut character set, which was deciphered in part through analysis of the Tangut-Chinese bilingual dictionary known as the "Pearl in the Palm." The character's exact meaning may vary based on historical and scholarly context, as many Tangut characters remain incompletely understood. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves this medieval writing system for digital use and academic study, highlighting the script's complexity with over 6,000 known ideographs.
