U+17FB9 "𗾹" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17FB9 "𗾹" Tangut Ideograph-# is a glyph belonging to the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) to record the now-extinct Tangut language. This specific ideograph, like others in its block, was encoded in Unicode version 9.0 in 2016 as part of a large collection of Tangut characters reconstructed from historical texts, primarily the 12th-century dictionary "Pearl in the Palm." While its exact meaning is not widely known outside academic linguistic circles, it represents a distinct unit of meaning or sound in the Tangut language, which features thousands of logographic characters. The inclusion of U+17FB9 in Unicode ensures its digital preservation and facilitates scholarly research into this historical script and the culture of the Western Xia civilization.
