U+17D96 "𗶖" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17D96 "𗶖" Tangut Ideograph-# is a character from the historical Tangut script, which was used to write the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in northwest China. This specific ideograph remains largely unconfirmed in its precise meaning, typical of many Tangut characters that are the subject of ongoing scholarly decryption due to the limited number of surviving texts. It was encoded in Unicode’s Tangut block released in 2016, serving both as a digital tool for researchers and a preservation marker for this complex logographic writing system.
