U+17C79 "ð—±¹" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð—±¹

U+17C79 "ð—±¹" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This ideograph belongs to the Tangut Ideographs Unicode block, which was added to the standard to preserve and digitally represent the thousands of logographic characters that were deciphered from ancient manuscripts and inscriptions. The character itself likely represents a single morpheme or word, though its exact meaning and modern semantic value require specialized linguistic and paleographic study due to the complexity and limited remaining knowledge of the Tangut language. Its inclusion in Unicode enables digital archiving, scholarly research, and broader accessibility for the study of this unique and culturally significant script.
