U+17DBA "𗶺" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17DBA "𗶺" Tangut Ideograph-# is a logographic symbol from the Tangut script, which was used to write the now extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in northwestern China. This character belongs to a large set of over 6,000 known Tangut ideographs, many of which remain undeciphered or lack a precise semantic or phonetic reconstruction. The Tangut script, created in the 11th century, was modeled after Chinese characters but is structurally more complex, often featuring dense strokes and unique radical combinations. U+17DBA was included in the Unicode Standard's Tangut block (U+17000–U+187FF) with the release of version 9.0 in 2016 to support digital preservation and scholarly research of this ancient writing system. Its exact meaning is not widely documented, reflecting the ongoing challenges in decryption and linguistic analysis of Tangut texts.
