Unicode Version 17.0
𗳉
U+17CC9 "𗳉" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific ideograph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of logograms that were deciphered largely from the *Pearl in the Palm*, a Tangut-Chinese bilingual glossary. Its precise meaning and phonetic value are tied to its unique position in the Tangut lexicon, representing a distinct syllable or concept from the historical language, which is no longer spoken but studied through manuscripts and inscriptions.
