U+17FC6 "𗿆" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𗿆
U+17FC6 "𗿆" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific encoded glyph from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This character has no officially defined meaning in modern Unicode metadata beyond its numerical identifier and classification as a Tangut ideograph, as the script is not yet fully deciphered. The symbol "𗿆" represents one of over 6,000 known Tangut characters recorded in texts such as the "Pearl in the Palm," a Tangut-Chinese bilingual glossary, and it likely corresponds to a specific word or morpheme in the ancient language, though its exact phonetic value and semantic meaning remain a subject for ongoing scholarly research.
