U+170C9 "𗃉" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+170C9 "𗃉" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the extinct Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, introduced to preserve and digitally encode the complex logographic writing system that scholars have been laboriously deciphering since the early 20th century. The symbol itself represents a particular morpheme or word, though the exact semantic meaning and phonetic value of many Tangut characters, including this one, remain topics of ongoing philological research.
