Tangut ideograph 17DC0

𗷀 is a Tangut character; “Tangut Ideograph-17DC0” is a Unicode identifier, not a translation or gloss. Tangut writing was created in the 11th century for the Western Xia state and drew on Chinese and Khitan writing models; it served government, literature, and Buddhist translation. Manuscripts from the mid-11th century preserve legal, Confucian, military, and literary works, and Tangut inscriptions are documented as late as 1502.
