Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+17E08 "𗸈" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) to record the now-extinct Tangut language. This particular ideogram, like others in the Tangut block of Unicode, represents a single character from a vast inventory of over six thousand known Tangut signs, which were modeled after Chinese characters but adapted phonetically and semantically to fit the Tangut tongue. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard under Plane 1 (SMP) allows for digital preservation and scholarly study of this historical script, though its exact meaning and pronunciation are often subject to ongoing philological research.
