Unicode Version 17.0

𗶉

U+17D89 "𗶉" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, a complex writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries CE). This character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a distinct concept or word in the extinct Tangut language, which was related to the Tibeto-Burman family. The Tangut script was invented in 1036 by scholars under the direction of Emperor Li Yuanhao, featuring over 6,000 characters, each composed of intricate strokes reflecting influences from Chinese calligraphy. Today, U+17D89 is part of the Unicode standard (version 9.0, released in 2016) to preserve and enable digital representation of this historical script, though its specific meaning is not universally recognized outside specialized linguistic or historical studies.
