U+17F04 "𗼄" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗼄
U+17F04 "𗼄" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logographic symbol from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. Assigned to the Tangut block within Unicode version 9.0, this specific character represents a unique ideograph whose exact meaning and pronunciation are often uncertain due to the language’s incomplete decipherment. Researchers reconstruct Tangut glyphs, including this one, by analyzing fragmentary texts and bilingual Chinese-Tangut glossaries, primarily to preserve the historic writing system.
