U+171AE "𗆮" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+171AE "𗆮" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language, which was spoken by the Tangut people during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character resides in the Tangut Supplement block of the Unicode Standard, which was introduced to encode additional Tangut ideographs that were not included in the initial Tangut block. The "#" in its name denotes a placeholder for a sequential identification number, as each Tangut ideograph in Unicode is assigned a unique index to help researchers and linguists reference and study the thousands of characters that make up this historical script.
