U+17F60 "ð—½ " Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+17F60 "ð—½ " Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific encoded symbol from the Tangut script, a complex logographic writing system used by the Tangut people of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China. This particular ideograph represents a unique lexical unit from the Tangut language, which is no longer spoken but survives in historical texts such as Buddhist translations and legal documents. The character is part of the Tangut block in Unicode, which was added to facilitate digital preservation and scholarly study of this extinct language. Its exact meaning is identified through the Unihan database, where it is associated with a provisional reading but often requires contextual analysis from the small corpus of surviving manuscripts.
