Unicode Version 17.0
U+17C78 "饤备" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia Empire (11th–13th centuries). This ideograph belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which was added in version 9.0 (2016) to encode thousands of Tangut logograms, each representing a word or morpheme. While the exact meaning of this particular character is not publicly documented in popular sources, it forms part of a complex script that was deciphered by scholars through analysis of texts like the Tangut translation of Buddhist sutras and legal documents. The inclusion of such characters in Unicode enables digital preservation and study of this unique writing system.
