U+17F98 "𗾘" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17F98 "𗾘" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single logographic symbol from the Tangut script, a writing system historically used during the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries) to write the extinct Tangut language. It belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP) of Unicode, where it is assigned a provisional numeric identifier (indicated by the hash mark) because its precise meaning, reading, or lexical value has not been fully determined or standardized by researchers. This character represents one of thousands of complex, dense glyphs that scholars reconstruct from manuscript fragments and inscriptions, reflecting the unique, highly derivative structure of the Tangut script, which was invented by imperial decree rather than evolving naturally from an earlier writing system.
