U+17CED "ð—³" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð—³
U+17CED "ð—³" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This ideograph represents a distinct lexical meaning within the Tangut lexicon, which was deciphered primarily through the bilingual "Pearl in the Palm" glossary and other manuscripts found in the Khara-Khoto ruins. As part of the Tangut block in Unicode, U+17CED helps preserve and digitize a script that once served as the official writing system of a powerful Central Asian empire, enabling modern scholars and linguists to study and reconstruct the phonetic and semantic values of Tangut characters.
