U+17FE4 "𗿤" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𗿤

U+17FE4 "𗿤" Tangut Ideograph-# is a glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system historically used to record the now extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty in medieval China. This specific ideograph was encoded in the Tangut Ideographs block of the Unicode Standard, along with thousands of other characters, in order to support digital preservation and study of the script. The glyph represents a unique lexical or morphemic unit, though its specific meaning and reconstructed pronunciation are determined by scholarly research into Tangut texts, often based on the character's composition and its occurrence in the 12th century multilingual dictionary known as the Pearl in the Palm. As part of a complex and largely undeciphered writing system, characters like 𗿤 serve as important data points for historians and linguists working to understand Tangut language and culture.
