U+17E94 "𗺔" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗺔
U+17E94 "𗺔" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038-1227). This character resides in the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to encode a significant portion of the over 6,000 known Tangut ideographs, many of which were deciphered from manuscripts found at Khara-Khoto and other archaeological sites. The ideograph # indicates that its precise meaning and phonetic value are not fully identified in current databases, though it represents a single morpheme or word in the Tangut language, contributing to the ongoing scholarly effort to reconstruct this complex historical writing system.
