There is a word for "that that you do not know" ?
Thanks.

PS: "ignoto" is not "unknown"

It should be "That which you do not know".

What about "ignorance"?

Possibly 'unaware' as in : There are
known facts you are unaware (ignoto) of.

Ignoto could be a translation of unknown. It depends on the context. I think
there was a discussion on it.cultura.linguistica.inglese about that. The
Unknown Soldier is translated by Milite Ignoto, for example.
