U+17FEC "𗿬" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𗿬

U+17FEC "𗿬" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, a historical logographic writing system used by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This ideograph represents a particular semantic or phonetic concept within the Tangut language, which has been largely deciphered through the study of the Tangut–Chinese bilingual dictionary known as the "Pearl in the Palm" and other manuscript sources. As part of the Tangut block in Unicode, this character contributes to the digital preservation of a complex writing system that encodes thousands of unique glyphs, each with distinct strokes and meanings, and is of significant interest to scholars of historical linguistics and paleography.
