U+17E2C "𗸬" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17E2C "𗸬" Tangut Ideograph-# is a logogram from the Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This specific character belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode standard, where it is officially named "Tangut Ideograph-#" with a placeholder mark due to the incomplete decipherment of many Tangut glyphs, and it likely represents a single morpheme or word, though its exact meaning and pronunciation are not yet fully determined by scholars. As one of thousands of complex, square Tangut characters, it reflects a writing system inspired by Chinese characters but structurally distinct, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve this historically significant script for digital use and ongoing linguistic research.
