U+17DAD "𗶭" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17DAD "𗶭" Tangut Ideograph-# is a complex logograph from the extinct Tangut script, used to write the Tangut language during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE). This particular ideograph, like others in the Tangut block, represents a single morpheme or word, though its exact meaning is often unknown or subject to scholarly reconstruction from fragmentary texts. The Tangut script was invented by imperial decree and features over 6,000 characters, making it one of the most intricate writing systems in history. U+17DAD is encoded in Unicode’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane and was added to support digital preservation and study of this historically significant but little understood script.
