U+17E97 "ð—º—" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð—º—

U+17E97 "ð—º—" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). Its precise linguistic meaning remains a subject of scholarly research, as the Tangut script consists of over 6,000 logographic characters, many of which have been deciphered through comparative analysis of surviving texts like the Tangut translation of Buddhist sutras and the Pearl in the Palm a 12th century Tangut encyclopedia. This character, like others in the Unicode Tangut block, contributes to the digital preservation of a unique writing system that offers insights into the culture, law, and religion of the Tangut civilization, though its exact semantic value and usage are not yet universally defined in standard databases.
