Unicode Version 17.0

𗴜

U+17D1C "𗴜" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty in northwest China between the 11th and 16th centuries. This character, like all Tangut ideographs, is composed of complex strokes that represent a word or morpheme, though its exact meaning and pronunciation are not fully deciphered in modern scholarship. It belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to support digital preservation and study of this intricate logographic script. Researchers continue to work on reading and interpreting such characters through fragmentary manuscripts and bilingual texts, making U+17D1C a part of the ongoing effort to reconstruct the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Tangut civilization.
