U+17EF4 "𗻴" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17EF4 "𗻴" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, encoded to preserve and digitally represent the over 6,000 characters of this logographic script, which was deciphered largely through the study of bilingual texts like the Tangut-Chinese glossary "Pearl in the Palm." While its precise semantic meaning and phonetic value are documented in scholarly resources and lexicons of Tangut, U+17EF4 remains one of many Tangut characters whose exact translation may require specialized contextual research. Its inclusion in Unicode supports ongoing linguistic and historical research into the Tangut civilization.
