U+17C97 "ð—²—" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð—²—

U+17C97 "ð—²—" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logographic glyph from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used to record the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwest China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This character represents a specific semantic and phonetic unit within the Tangut lexicon, though its exact modern linguistic meaning is often unknown or reconstructed through comparative analysis of surviving Tangut manuscripts. As one of over 6,000 distinct Tangut ideographs encoded in the Unicode standard, it reflects the complex, character based writing system modeled after Chinese but with its own unique structural principles. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and scholarly study of this historically significant script.
