U+17CE3 "饤常" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
饤常
U+17CE3 "饤常" Tangut Ideograph-# is a logogram from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used to record the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in present-day northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs Unicode block and carries the provisional glyph designation "Tangut Ideograph-#" because its specific meaning and modern identification remain unclear to scholars. The character was formally encoded in Unicode version 9.0 in 2016 as part of efforts to digitally preserve this historically significant but largely undeciphered script.
