U+17DA6 "𗶦" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17DA6 "𗶦" Tangut Ideograph-# is a rare and specialized glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people during the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China, roughly from the 11th to the 13th centuries. This particular ideograph, recorded in the Tangut dictionary "The Sea of Characters" and identified with the unglossed index number "Tangut 0348," has no publicly documented pronunciation or standard English translation, as the full decipherment of the Tangut script remains a work in progress among linguists and historians. Its inclusion in Unicode supports digital preservation and scholarly study of this complex logographic script, which contains over 6,000 known characters and is primarily understood through bilingual texts like the Chinese-Tangut "Fanhan Hechui Yiyu" or "Timely Pearl in the Palm."
