U+17FE1 "𗿡" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17FE1 "𗿡" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language that flourished during the Western Xia dynasty in modern-day northwestern China from the 11th to 16th centuries. This ideograph, like all Tangut characters, represents a word or morpheme and is part of a vast character set that was deciphered through the discovery of bilingual texts like the Tangut version of the Lotus Sutra. The Tangut script was highly complex, featuring thousands of distinct characters, and U+17FE1 contributes to the digital preservation and study of this unique and largely undeciphered linguistic heritage.
