Unicode Version 17.0

𗽟

U+17F5F "𗽟" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific encoded symbol from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system historically used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block within Unicode, which includes thousands of complex, mostly right hand leaning glyphs that were deciphered from excavated manuscripts and stone inscriptions. The exact meaning and phonetic value of "𗽟" remain unknown to scholars, as the Tangut language has not been fully reconstructed and many characters have yet to be definitively identified. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and enable digital study of this ancient script, aiding linguistic and historical research despite the ongoing challenges in interpretation.
