Unicode Version 17.0
ð—·»
U+17DFB "ð—·»" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China. This ideograph represents a single morpheme and was encoded in Unicode’s Tangut block, which was added in version 9.0 of the standard in 2016 to support historical scholarship. The character’s precise meaning remains unknown to the general public, as many Tangut characters are still being deciphered by linguists analyzing excavated texts and manuscripts. Its inclusion in Unicode allows digital preservation and research of this unique script, which once served as the official writing system of a powerful medieval empire.
