U+17FBA "𗾺" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17FBA "𗾺" Tangut Ideograph-# is a glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people during the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in present-day northwestern China. This character represents one of thousands of Tangut ideographs that were inscribed in historical documents, most notably the "Pearl in the Palm" and other Buddhist texts. As part of the Tangut block in Unicode, this ideograph was encoded to enable digital preservation and study of the script, which was deciphered in the early 20th century after the discovery of bilingual inscriptions. Its specific meaning remains tied to the scholarly reconstruction of Tangut vocabulary, as the script’s complex composition often blends semantic and phonetic elements.
