Unicode Version 17.0

𗳑

U+17CD1 "𗳑" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, a complex writing system used during the Tangut Empire of northwestern China between the 11th and 16th centuries. This character, assigned the temporary description "Tangut Ideograph-#" as its formal name has not been fully deciphered or given a specific English gloss, is part of the Tangut Supplement block in Unicode, which was added to support digital encoding of this historically significant script. The Tangut script was famously invented by imperial decree in 1036 and features over 6,000 known characters, making it one of the most intricate writing systems ever created, and each character like this one represents a distinct syllable or word with unique phonetic and semantic properties, though the exact meaning of U+17CD1 remains a subject of ongoing philological research.
