𗳯
U+17CEF "𗳯" Tangut Ideograph-# is one of over six thousand ideographs encoded in the Tangut script block, representing a logogram from the extinct Tangut language used by the Tangut Empire of medieval China between the 11th and 16th centuries. This specific character, like all Tangut ideographs, corresponds to a single morpheme or word, though its precise meaning and pronunciation remain largely unknown to modern scholars due to the limited number of deciphered texts. It was added to Unicode as part of a major expansion to support historical scripts, enabling digital preservation and study of this complex writing system.
