Unicode Version 17.0
𗲩
U+17CA9 "𗲩" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in northwestern China. This character is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, designated as an ideograph with a placeholder meaning indicated by the # symbol, as its precise semantic value or pronunciation has not been definitively reconstructed by scholars. The Tangut script comprises thousands of logographic characters, each representing a word or morpheme, and its inclusion in Unicode facilitates digital preservation and study of this historical writing system.
