U+17F6E "ð—½®" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð—½®

U+17F6E "ð—½®" Tangut Ideograph-# is a rare and historically significant glyph from the Tangut script, an extinct logographic writing system used to record the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This particular ideograph, identified by its hexadecimal code point in the Unicode Standard's Tangut block, represents a specific word or morpheme within the Tangut lexicon, though its exact reading and meaning are often a subject of scholarly reconstruction from fragmented manuscripts and dictionaries. As part of a script that was only decoded in the early 20th century and boasts over 6,000 known characters, U+17F6E contributes to the ongoing efforts of linguists and historians to understand the culture, governance, and Buddhist-influenced literature of the lost Tangut civilization.
