U+17D5D "𗵝" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𗵝

U+17D5D "𗵝" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, a complex writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language (also known as Xixia) spoken in the Tangut Empire of northwestern China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which was added to support the digital encoding of over 6,000 known Tangut characters. "𗵝" represents a distinct meaning or word in the Tangut language, though its exact semantic value, like many Tangut ideographs, is still being deciphered by scholars through studies of texts such as the Tangut translation of Buddhist sutras and the celestial globe inscriptions found at Khara Khoto. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and facilitate research into this historically significant but once lost script.
