U+17C8D "𗲍" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This character resides in the Tangut Ideographs Unicode block (U+17000 to U+18AFF), which encodes thousands of logographs originally devised by Emperor Li Yuanhao to record administrative, legal, and Buddhist texts.
