Unicode Version 17.0
𗺨
U+17EA8 "𗺨" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, a writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 C.E.) in what is now northwestern China. This character is part of the extensive Tangut repertoire, which comprises thousands of ideographs that, unlike Chinese characters, are structured with complex, often highly intricate strokes and radicals tailored to represent the unique phonetic and semantic features of the Tangut language. Its inclusion in Unicode under the Tangut block facilitates digital preservation and study of this historical script, allowing scholars to access, analyze, and compare such rare glyphs in modern textual databases.
