U+17E58 "𗹘" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𗹘

U+17E58 "𗹘" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single character from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). It visually consists of stylized, angular strokes typical of Tangut orthography, which combines elements of Chinese character construction but with a unique structural logic. As one of the over 6,000 encoded Tangut ideographs in Unicode, this specific character represents a distinct morpheme from the Tangut lexicon, though its precise meaning is not widely glossed in common references due to the limited scope of deciphered Tangut texts. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates digital preservation and scholarly study of this medieval Central Asian culture.
