U+17FDA "ð—¿š" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð—¿š

U+17FDA "ð—¿š" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia Empire (1038–1227 CE). This ideograph, like all Tangut characters, belongs to a morphosyllabic script composed of thousands of complex logograms, each representing a syllable or morpheme. The exact meaning of this particular character is not widely recognized outside specialized scholarly databases, as the Tangut script was deciphered only partially during the 20th century, primarily through the study of bilingual texts like the Tangut translation of the Buddhist *Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment*. Its inclusion in Unicode, starting with version 9.0 in 2016, enables digital preservation and analysis of this historically significant script, which was largely forgotten after the fall of the Western Xia dynasty.
