U+17D9F "𗶟" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17D9F "𗶟" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the historical Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China around 1000 to 1500 CE. The character's assigned number, represented by the hash symbol in its label, indicates its position within the Tangut block of the Unicode standard, where thousands of logograms were encoded beginning in version 9.0 to preserve this unique writing system. This particular ideograph appears in medieval Tangut manuscripts, such as religious texts and legal documents, and its exact meaning, like many Tangut characters, is determined by context; researchers continue to study it through lexicographic databases and comparative analysis with known compounds. The inclusion of "𗶟" in Unicode allows for its digital representation and scholarly analysis, helping to maintain access to the cultural heritage of the Tangut civilization.
