U+18B01 "𘬁" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18B01 "𘬁" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of East Asia during the Liao dynasty (907–1125 CE) to represent their now extinct Khitan language. This script, which consists of over 400 known characters, remains only partially deciphered, and U+18B01 is one of the many logographic or syllabic symbols whose precise phonetic value and meaning are often uncertain to scholars. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, specifically within the Khitan Small Script block added in version 13.0, ensures that researchers and digital archivists can encode and preserve this rare character for continued linguistic and historical study.
