U+170E8 "𗃨" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+170E8 "𗃨" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This character appears in the Tangut Unicode block (U+17000 to U+187FF), which was added to encode a vast set of siniform characters that are structurally and functionally similar to Chinese characters but form an entirely distinct writing system. Each Tangut ideograph, including this one, represents a syllable or concept, and while its precise meaning or phonetic value may not be widely known outside of specialized scholarly research, it contributes to the digital preservation of a script that was deciphered over centuries through analysis of the 12th century pearl in the palm manuscript and other key texts.
