Unicode Version 17.0

𗲟

U+17C9F "𗲟" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logogram from the Tangut script, a complex writing system used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character, identified by its unique hexadecimal code point in the Tangut block of the Unicode standard, represents one of over 6,000 known Tangut ideographs, which were predominantly used for historical, religious, and administrative texts. The specific meaning and pronunciation of "𗲟" are not widely known outside specialized philological research, as the Tangut script was largely deciphered through the study of bilingual Chinese-Tangut manuscripts. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital preservation and accessibility for scholars studying this ancient Central Asian civilization.
