U+17C46 "𗱆" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17C46 "𗱆" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single graphical unit from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th–14th centuries). This character represents one of over six thousand known Tangut ideographs, each formed from complex strokes that combine semantic and phonetic components. While its specific meaning is recorded in the Tangut dictionary "Sea of Characters" as the word for an oath or a pledge, the exact modern interpretation often relies on scholarly reconstruction due to the script's disuse after the empire’s fall. The inclusion of this character in Unicode, as part of the Tangut block (U+16FF0 to U+18B00), ensures its preservation for digital documentation, linguistic research, and the study of medieval East Asian history.
