U+17C21 "𗰡" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17C21 "𗰡" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) to record the Tangut language. This character is part of the Tangut Ideographs block in Unicode, which encodes thousands of logographic symbols that represent words or morphemes, much like Chinese characters, though the Tangut script is structurally and pictorially distinct. The exact meaning and pronunciation of this particular ideograph, like many Tangut characters, is known only through scholarly reconstruction from historical texts and dictionaries, as the language and its script fell out of use after the collapse of the Western Xia empire.
