U+171D0 "𗇐" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific logogram from the Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Xixia Empire (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in the Unicode Standard, encoded to support digital preservation and study of this complex writing system, which comprises over 6,000 known ideographs. The exact meaning of "𗇐" is not universally defined in modern contexts, as many Tangut characters are still being deciphered by linguists and historians through analysis of historical texts, such as the Pearl in the Palm, a Tangut-Chinese bilingual glossary. Its inclusion in Unicode allows researchers and enthusiasts to represent, search, and analyze Tangut manuscripts digitally, contributing to the ongoing scholarly effort to understand the language and culture of the Xixia civilization.
