U+17E9D "𗺝" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17E9D "𗺝" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This character, like all Tangut ideographs, was designed by the Tangut emperor Yeli Renxiao to represent a word or morpheme and consists of intricate strokes that often combine components in a way distinct from Chinese characters. Assigned to the Tangut block of Unicode version 9.0 in 2016, U+17E9D enables digital representation of texts from historical manuscripts and inscriptions, aiding scholars in the study of Tangut philology and the cultural legacy of the Western Xia empire. Its exact meaning remains a subject of research, as many Tangut characters are still being deciphered from surviving documents.
