U+17DB9 "𗶹" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17DB9 "𗶹" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty in northwest China between the 11th and 16th centuries. This specific glyph represents one of thousands of logographic characters in the Tangut script, which was designed to phonetically and semantically transcribe the Tibeto-Burman language. In Unicode, it is categorized within the Tangut block, and its formal designation as an ideograph indicates that it encodes a meaning or word rather than a phonetic syllable, though the exact semantic value of this particular character may remain undetermined due to limited historical records. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures digital preservation and scholarly access to this historically significant script.
