U+17017 "𗀗" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17017 "𗀗" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single character from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This ideograph represents a specific word or concept in the Tangut lexicon, though its exact meaning is often transcribed numerically or by its position in standard Tangut dictionaries, as full linguistic reconstruction remains a work in progress. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, within the Tangut block (U+17000 to U+187FF), allows for digital preservation and scholarly study of this complex script, which comprises thousands of characters inspired by Chinese calligraphy but unique in structure.
