𘬅

U+18B05 "𘬅" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic symbol from the Khitan Small Script, a historically used writing system developed by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China during the 10th to 12th centuries. This script was employed alongside the Khitan Large Script to record the Khitan language, which is now extinct and only partially deciphered. The character itself is one of many unique glyphs in the small script, which is primarily syllabic in nature but also contains logograms. In Unicode, this character sits within the Khitan Small Script block, added to the standard to facilitate digital preservation and study of this ancient writing system, enabling researchers and linguists to encode, analyze, and display the text with greater accuracy.
