U+17E03 "𗸃" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17E03 "𗸃" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single character from the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (11th-14th centuries). This specific ideograph is part of a large block of over 6,000 Tangut characters encoded in Unicode's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, representing one of the many logographic symbols that were deciphered from excavated texts. Its exact meaning and phonetic value are determined by scholarly research into the complex and largely isolated Tangut lexicon, which remains only partially understood. The character is displayed with a radical and phonetic component, following the structure typical of Tangut script, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this ancient written language.
