U+17156 "𗅖" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17156 "𗅖" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) to record the Tangut language. This ideograph, like all Tangut characters, represents a single morpheme and is part of the Unicode Tangut block, which was added to the standard to preserve and digitally encode this historical script. The character is defined by its unique stroke composition and sound value, which are cataloged in scholarly databases and dictionaries, enabling researchers and linguists to study the language's complex phonological and semantic system. As with many Tangut ideographs, its exact meaning and pronunciation are determined through comparative analysis of extant manuscripts and dictionaries, such as the "Sea of Characters" and "Homophones."
