U+18717 "𘜗" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+18717 "𘜗" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038–1227). This character, like all Tangut ideographs, represents a single morpheme or word, and its meaning has been deciphered through the study of the *Pearl in the Palm*, a 12th century bilingual Tangut Chinese glossary. The character is composed of multiple strokes that form a distinctive square like shape, typical of the Tangut script’s complex visual structure. While its exact semantic value is not fully confirmed in all modern databases, it is cataloged as part of the Tangut Supplement block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2016 to preserve and facilitate digital access to this historical writing system.
