Unicode Version 17.0

饤东

U+17DAB "饤东" Tangut Ideograph-# is a logographic symbol from the historical Tangut script, used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This specific character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which contains over 6,000 reconstructed characters derived from the "Homophones" Tangut dictionary and other manuscripts. Like all Tangut characters, it represents a single syllable or morpheme with a complex structure, often composed of multiple strokes and components that combine semantic and phonetic elements. The exact meaning of U+17DAB is not yet fully confirmed by scholars, as ongoing research continues to decipher the full Tangut lexicon, though it belongs to a set of characters used in official, religious, and literary texts from the period.
