U+17BC4 "𗯄" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17BC4 "𗯄" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a single word or morpheme, and its exact meaning and pronunciation are determined by scholarly translation of the known Tangut dictionary, the Pearl in the Palm, along with other historical texts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard as part of the Tangut block (U+17000 to U+187FF) enables digital preservation and modern study of this complex script, which comprises thousands of distinct characters that were discovered through the work of explorers and linguists in the early 20th century.
