U+17D2A "ð—´ª" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17D2A "ð—´ª" Tangut Ideograph-# is a character from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This specific ideograph, like others in the Tangut block, represents a morpheme or word from that language and was decoded from the thousands of characters found in Tangut manuscripts and dictionaries, such as the "Pearl in the Palm" and the "Sea of Characters." Its shape is composed of intricate strokes typical of Tangut calligraphy, and its precise phonetic and semantic value is identified in modern academic reconstructions based on multilingual inscriptions and glossaries. The character is part of the Unicode Standard’s Tangut block (U+17000 to U+187FF), included to preserve and enable digital communication of this unique historical writing system.
