U+17DAE "𗶮" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17DAE "𗶮" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This ideograph belongs to the Tangut Supplement block in Unicode, which encodes over 7,000 characters deciphered from historical manuscripts and texts, many of which remain partially understood due to the language's isolated linguistic family. As a component of this intricate script, U+17DAE represents a single morpheme, contributing to a writing system known for its complex stroke components and radical-based composition, mirroring Chinese logographic principles yet employing distinct structural rules. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates digital preservation and scholarly study of Tangut civilization, enabling researchers to better analyze the dynasty's literature, law, and Buddhist translations.
