U+17D85 "ð—¶…" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17D85 "ð—¶…" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia Empire (11th–13th centuries). This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which contains thousands of logographic symbols representing words or morphemes. Its precise semantic meaning and phonetic value have been partially reconstructed by linguists through analysis of the Tangut dictionary, the Pearl in the Palm, though many characters like this one remain obscure in their exact usage. As part of the effort to digitally preserve a significant historical script, this ideograph allows modern scholars and enthusiasts to study and reproduce texts from a civilization that once flourished in what is now northwestern China.
