U+17DF8 "ð—·¸" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð—·¸
U+17DF8 "ð—·¸" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of complex logographic symbols that were deciphered primarily through the study of bilingual Chinese-Tangut dictionaries. The Tangut script, known for its high number of characters resembling Chinese in structure but differing entirely in composition and meaning, represents a unique and challenging area of historical linguistics and digital encoding.
