U+17D7A "𗵺" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17D7A "𗵺" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single glyph from the Tangut script, an extinct writing system used to record the Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This particular ideograph, like all Tangut characters, represents a unique word or morpheme and was carved or written as a highly intricate, logographic symbol, often with numerous strokes that distinguish it from other characters in the Tangut syllabary. The Tangut script was invented in 1036 by imperial decree and comprises thousands of characters, many of which remain undeciphered, but modern Unicode encoding of characters like U+17D7A allows for their digital preservation and study by linguists and historians.
