𗿃
U+17FC3 "𗿃" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty in China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This character represents one of the thousands of intricate glyphs in the Tangut writing system, each composed of complex strokes and components that encode lexical and phonetic information, though its precise meaning and reading have often been reconstructed through comparative philology and an analysis of the Tangut dictionary the Pearl in the Palm. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and scholarly study of this historically significant script.
