𗺀
U+17E80 "𗺀" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single grapheme from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Tangut Empire (also known as Western Xia, 1038–1227 CE) in present-day northwestern China. This specific ideograph belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which encodes thousands of logographic characters reconstructed from a 12th-century dictionary and other manuscripts. While the exact semantic meaning of U+17E80 is not widely known outside specialist scholarship, its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this historically significant yet undeciphered writing system.
