U+17DF4 "饤反" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17DF4 "饤反" Tangut Ideograph-# is a glyph found in the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This specific ideograph belongs to the set of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, which are structurally complex and were primarily used in Buddhist texts, legal documents, and inscriptions. The Tangut script, invented by the scholar Yeli Renrong under imperial order, was largely indecipherable until the discovery of bilingual Tangut-Chinese manuscripts in the early 20th century. While the exact meaning of U+17DF4 remains uncertain without full contextual translation, it is part of the Unicode Standard’s ongoing effort to encode and preserve this historical script for digital use.
