U+17D5A "𗵚" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17D5A "𗵚" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, which was historically used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th to 13th centuries) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph, like all Tangut characters, is part of a large, highly complex logographic writing system that was deciphered in the 20th century through the study of bilingual texts and dictionaries. The exact meaning of "𗵚" is recorded in the Tangut dictionary *The Sea of Characters*, where it is defined as "white" or "bright," representing a color term and a concept of light or purity in the language. As a "radical" or semantic component, it often appears in compound characters related to whiteness, clarity, or luminosity, demonstrating the structured nature of the Tangut script's creation.
