U+17E24 "𗸤" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17E24 "𗸤" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This character is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, encoded to preserve the thousands of complex ideographs that were deciphered primarily from the 20th century onward through study of the Tangut dictionary "Pearl in the Palm" and other manuscript fragments. The exact meaning of "𗸤" is not widely recorded in standard references, as many Tangut characters remain unglossed outside specialist philological research, but it represents one of the many distinctive square-styled glyphs that form the core of this unique and now dead writing system.
