U+17F9A "𗾚" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𗾚

U+17F9A "𗾚" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs Unicode block, which encodes thousands of characters representing entire words or morphemes from the Tangut lexicon, with each ideograph carrying a distinct phonetic and semantic value. The transcription label "#" indicates that its precise reading or meaning has not yet been phonetically decoded or assigned a standard romanization, placing it among many Tangut characters that remain partially understood by modern scholars due to the limited and complex decipherment of the script. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital preservation and facilitates ongoing linguistic research into this historically significant but poorly attested language.
