Unicode Version 17.0

ð—· 

U+17DE0 "ð—· " Tangut Ideograph-# is one of thousands of logographic symbols originating from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This specific ideograph represents a discrete concept or word within that language, though its exact modern reading and meaning have often been reconstructed by scholars through analysis of historical dictionaries, such as the "Pearl in the Palm," and bilingual texts. As part of the Tangut Supplement block, this character plays a role in preserving and enabling digital study of a unique writing system that remained largely undeciphered until the 20th century, offering a window into the cultural and administrative life of the medieval Tangut Empire.
