U+170FC "𗃼" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+170FC "𗃼" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to document the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This particular ideograph, like all Tangut characters, was created to represent a word or morpheme, and its exact meaning is determined by its context within historical manuscripts, many of which were discovered in the ruins of Khara-Khoto. The character is encoded in the Tangut block of the Unicode Standard, which was established to preserve these over 6,000 complex graphs for digital use, enabling scholars to study the administrative, religious, and literary texts of the Tangut Empire.
