Unicode Version 17.0
𗸯
U+17E2F "𗸯" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038-1227) in northwestern China. This ideograph represents a single morpheme or word, visually composed of complex, siniform strokes that distinguish it from Chinese characters, though it was influenced by Chinese calligraphy. It is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, encoded to preserve and enable digital representation of this historically significant script, which was deciphered in the 20th century through the study of bilingual inscriptions and texts.
