U+17C9E "𗲞" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty in northwestern China from the 11th to the 16th centuries. This character represents a unique logographic symbol, though its precise meaning and pronunciation are not fully decoded, as the majority of the over 6,000 known Tangut characters remain only partially deciphered by scholars.
