U+17DDE "ð—·ž" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð—·ž
U+17DDE "ð—·ž" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single character from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This character represents a specific word or concept within the Tangut language, which was deciphered in part through the study of bilingual Chinese-Tangut texts and dictionaries. The Tangut script, which includes thousands of complex characters like this one, was used for administrative, religious, and literary purposes until the collapse of the Western Xia state in the 13th century. Today, this ideograph is encoded in Unicode’s Tangut block, enabling its digital representation and study by linguists and historians working to preserve this extinct language.
