U+17C9A "𗲚" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗲚
U+17C9A "𗲚" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used during the Tangut dynasty (Western Xia) in northwest China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This particular ideograph represents one of the thousands of distinct Tangut characters, which were developed in 1036 under Emperor Li Yuanhao to record the now extinct Tangut language. Encoded in Unicode’s Tangut block, U+17C9A serves as a digital representation for scholarly research, historical text digitization, and linguistic analysis, helping preserve the complex script that remains only partially deciphered by modern academics.
