U+17DA9 "𗶩" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17DA9 "𗶩" Tangut Ideograph-# is a component of the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This specific ideograph, like others in the Tangut block, represents a single syllable or morpheme and was standardized in version 9.0 of the Unicode Standard to digitally preserve this historical script, which was decoded primarily through the discovery of multilingual inscriptions such as the Tangut–Chinese bilingual stele. While its exact semantic meaning and phonetic value are not widely known outside specialist scholarship, its inclusion in Unicode facilitates academic research, digital archiving, and the study of Inner Asian linguistics and paleography.
