Unicode Version 17.0

𗻌

U+17ECC "𗻌" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th-13th centuries). This ideograph belongs to a large set of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, which were primarily deciphered through the study of bilingual Chinese-Tangut inscriptions and dictionaries. The exact meaning of this particular character is documented in Tangut lexicographic works, such as the "Homophones" and "Sea of Characters," but it is not commonly encountered in modern digital usage outside of specialized scholarly research and Unicode preservation efforts. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that this historically significant script remains accessible for digital archiving, linguistic study, and cultural heritage projects.
