Unicode Version 17.0
𗺏
U+17E8F "𗺏" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used by the Tangut people during the Western Xia dynasty (1038-1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, which was encoded to preserve and enable digital study of this historically significant script that was deciphered in the 20th century using multilingual inscriptions. The character itself represents a distinct logogram with a unique meaning, though its precise translation is often context dependent and studied by specialists in Tangut philology, as the script contains over 6,000 characters.
