U+17FFE "ð—¿¾" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+17FFE "ð—¿¾" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific encoded glyph from the Tangut script, a historically significant writing system used during the Tangut Empire (1038–1227 CE) in what is now northwestern China, primarily for writing the extinct Tangut language. This particular ideograph appears in the standard list of Tangut characters, but its precise meaning, phonetic value, and usage remain incompletely understood by scholars, as many Tangut texts, often of Buddhist origin, have only been partially deciphered. The character is part of the Tangut Supplement block in Unicode, which was added to facilitate digital preservation and study of this complex script, which features thousands of logographic characters inspired by Chinese writing but with a distinct structure and set of radicals.
