Unicode Version 17.0
𗻀
U+17EC0 "𗻀" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logogram representing a word or morpheme from the extinct Tangut language, which was used in the Tangut Empire (modern-day northwestern China) between the 11th and 14th centuries. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block of Unicode, which encodes thousands of complex, vertically oriented symbols developed for writing the Tangut script. The specific meaning of U+17EC0, like many Tangut characters, is not widely known outside specialized scholarly research, as the script was deciphered through painstaking comparative analysis of bilingual texts and dictionaries. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital preservation and study of this unique historical writing system can continue.
