U+17D57 "𗵗" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗵗
U+17D57 "𗵗" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character encodes one of the thousands of ideographs in the Tangut repertoire, each representing a distinct syllable or morpheme, and it forms part of the Tangut block in Unicode’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane. While its precise meaning in modern scholarship is determined through extensive analysis of fragmented texts and dictionaries, U+17D57 contributes to the ongoing digital preservation and study of a complex script that was deciphered in part using bilingual Chinese-Tangut manuscripts.
