U+17F47 "𗽇" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𗽇

U+17F47 "𗽇" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logogram from the Tangut script, a complex writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). Represented by the number sign or hash symbol in its name due to the vast number of Tangut characters and the lack of a standardized English gloss, this ideograph is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, which encodes over 6,000 characters from the script. Its precise meaning and pronunciation are not widely known outside specialist scholarship, as the Tangut script was deciphered only in the early 20th century and many characters still require further philological study. In digital contexts, this character allows for the accurate electronic representation of Tangut texts, preserving a unique historical and linguistic heritage.
