U+17FA4 "𗾤" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗾤
U+17FA4 "𗾤" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific encoded glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty in present day northwestern China. This character is part of a much larger set of Tangut ideographs, which were logographic and could represent entire words or morphemes, often with complex stroke patterns and multiple components. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital representation and study of this ancient script, though most individual characters, including this one, currently do not have a published standard English translation or a known reading in modern scholarship due to the ongoing decipherment of Tangut texts.
