U+17B87 "𗮇" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17B87 "𗮇" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the ancient Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in northwestern China. This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, a collection of over 6,000 logographic symbols decoded primarily from the 20th-century work of Russian and Chinese scholars. As a Tangut ideograph, it represents a discrete word or morpheme, though its precise meaning and phonetic value are often known only through comparative analysis of surviving manuscripts and dictionaries. The inclusion of such characters in Unicode helps preserve and enable digital study of this historical writing system.
