U+17E0E "𗸎" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17E0E "𗸎" Tangut Ideograph-# is one of the many logographic symbols from the Tangut script, a writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia Empire (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. Encoded in the Tangut block of Unicode, this specific character represents a single Tangut word or morpheme, though its exact pronunciation and meaning are known only through scholarly reconstruction from historical texts. The character is part of a vast set of over 6,000 Tangut ideographs, which were largely deciphered in the 20th century through analysis of bilingual Chinese-Tangut inscriptions and dictionaries. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitize this ancient script for modern linguistic research and cultural heritage.
