U+17E5D "𗹝" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗹝
U+17E5D "𗹝" 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 what is now northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, encoded in 2016 as part of Unicode 9.0, and represents one of the thousands of complex, vertically oriented glyphs that remain partially deciphered through historical dictionaries and inscriptions. Its precise meaning is documented in ancient Tangut lexicons, but like many Tangut characters, it requires specialized linguistic knowledge for full interpretation, reflecting a writing system that was rediscovered in the 20th century after centuries of obscurity.
