U+1717C "𗅼" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+1717C "𗅼" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty. Its meaning and pronunciation are documented in the authoritative Tangut dictionary "The Sea of Characters," where it is defined as a verb meaning "to fear" or "to be afraid," and it is reconstructed with the reading "dźjwọ" or a similar phonetic value. This ideograph, like all Tangut characters, was inscribed as part of a vast corpus of Buddhist texts, legal documents, and official records that were rediscovered in the 20th century. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates modern digital preservation and scholarly study of this complex logographic system, which comprises over 6,000 distinct characters.
