U+17EF8 "𗻸" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single glyph representing a specific word or morpheme from the extinct Tangut language, which was spoken during the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This ideograph belongs to the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, a collection of over 6,000 characters encoded to preserve the unique logographic script developed for the Tangut language. The glyph visually consists of intricately stacked and angled strokes, typical of the Tangut writing system's complex structure, and its precise meaning is known only to specialists who study the scant extant manuscripts and dictionaries from that era.
