U+17E98 "𗺘" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, which was historically used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in ancient China. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs Unicode block, which encodes thousands of logographic signs representing the complex, mostly polysyllabic vocabulary of Tangut. The exact meaning and pronunciation of this particular ideograph may require specialized linguistic research, as many Tangut characters have been identified through analysis of bilingual texts and dictionaries from the era.
