U+17CDC "𗳜" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗳜
U+17CDC "𗳜" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific ideograph from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used for the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This character is part of the Tangut block in Unicode and corresponds to an unrecorded or placeholder index number, as its exact meaning and pronunciation have not been fully deciphered by scholars. The script comprises over 6,000 characters, modeled after Chinese logographs but structurally unique, and U+17CDC represents one of the many Tangut characters that remain a subject of ongoing linguistic research, particularly in the study of historical texts such as the Tangut translation of Buddhist sutras discovered at Khara-Khoto.
