U+17C8C "𗲌" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17C8C "𗲌" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This ideograph, assigned the provisional label # to denote its unconfirmed semantic reading, is encoded in the Tangut Supplement block of the Unicode standard, which was introduced in version 9.0 to digitally preserve and represent historical scripts. The character is part of a vast corpus of over 6,000 Tangut logograms, many of which remain untranslated or lack definitive phonetic reconstruction due to the language’s obscurity and limited textual evidence.
