U+17E13 "𗸓" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𗸓

U+17E13 "𗸓" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph represents one of the thousands of logographic symbols in the Tangut script, which was designed to mimic Chinese characters in structure while possessing a vastly larger number of strokes and logograms. As part of the Unicode standard’s Tangut block (U+17000 to U+18AFF), this character is encoded to support digital preservation and scholarly research into the language, known primarily from fragmented manuscripts and inscriptions. Its exact meaning is determined through contextual analysis of historical texts, as many Tangut ideographs remain only partially deciphered by modern linguists.
