Unicode Version 17.0

ð—±´

U+17C74 "ð—±´" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to 13th centuries. This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of logographic symbols that were deciphered primarily through the study of the Tangut translation of Buddhist texts, such as the Lotus Sutra. While the exact semantic meaning of U+17C74 is not commonly known without reference to a comprehensive Tangut dictionary, its inclusion in the Unicode standard underscores the effort to digitally preserve this historically significant script, which was once nearly lost but has been increasingly studied by linguists and historians.
