U+17F8E "𗾎" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗾎
U+17F8E "𗾎" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific encoded glyph within the Tangut script block, representing a logographic character from the extinct Tangut language that was used in the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character is part of a large corpus of over 6,000 known Tangut ideographs, which were deciphered primarily through bilingual texts and the 1909 discovery of a Tangut-Chinese glossary. The ideograph corresponds to a particular meaning or phonetic value in the reconstructed Tangut language, though its precise semantic definition and usage are documented in scholarly databases of the Tangut script, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital representation and study of this historically significant writing system.
