U+17E22 "𗸢" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17E22 "𗸢" Tangut Ideograph-# is a logogram from the extinct Tangut script, which was historically used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This specific character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a single syllable or morpheme, combining complex strokes that reflect the script’s unique square and dense structure, which was modeled partly after Chinese characters but with distinct phonetic and semantic elements. As part of the Tangut Supplement block in Unicode, its inclusion aids scholars in digitizing and studying the extensive corpus of Tangut Buddhist texts, legal documents, and inscriptions, preserving a key piece of Central Asian philological history.
