U+17174 "𗅴" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17174 "𗅴" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character within the Unicode Tangut block, used to represent a word or morpheme from the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). Its exact meaning and pronunciation remain unknown to modern scholars, as the Tangut script of over 6,000 logographic characters has only been partially deciphered through analysis of bilingual texts and dictionaries. This character, like others in its block, is defined by a unique combination of strokes and radicals typical of Tangut writing, which was inspired by Chinese characters but developed into its own distinct system.
