Unicode Version 17.0
𗶵
U+17DB5 "𗶵" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block of the Unicode Standard, which encompasses thousands of complex glyphs that were deciphered largely through the study of multilingual inscriptions and dictionaries. The exact meaning and phonetic value of this particular ideograph are tied to the lexical and historical records of the Tangut civilization, though without specific documentation its semantic role remains part of the broader, partially reconstructed corpus of Tangut writing.
