U+17FED "𗿭" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+17FED "𗿭" Tangut Ideograph-# is part of the Tangut script, a historical writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken in the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227) in what is now northwestern China. This specific ideograph represents a single character from the vast Tangut syllabary, which contains over 6,000 logographic symbols, each typically denoting a unique syllable or morpheme. The character is assigned to the Tangut block in Unicode (range U+17000 to U+187FF) and is encoded under the standard’s Ideographic Description Sequences to preserve this ancient script for digital use and scholarly research. Its exact meaning and pronunciation remain a subject of ongoing philological study, as the Tangut language was deciphered in the 20th century through comparative analysis of multilingual inscriptions and dictionaries.
