U+17FE0 "ð—¿ " Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð—¿ 

U+17FE0 "ð—¿ " Tangut Ideograph-# is one of the many ideographs from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038-1227) in present-day northwestern China. This specific character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a single syllable or morpheme, and its precise meaning is determined by its context within historical texts, often Buddhist scriptures or legal documents, that survive on monuments, manuscripts, and woodblock prints. The Tangut script is known for its complex composition, with thousands of unique characters modeled after Chinese writing but with distinctive strokes and radical-like components, making symbols like U+17FE0 a crucial piece of the puzzle for scholars deciphering the language and culture of the lost Tangut civilization.
