U+18B06 "𘬆" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘬆

U+18B06 "𘬆" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a single logographic or syllabic glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system historically used by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China and Central Asia from the 10th to the 12th century. This particular character remains unassigned to a specific phonetic or semantic value in modern scholarly reconstructions, as the script is only partially deciphered and many of its roughly 380 distinct signs lack definitive readings. It belongs to the Unicode range allocated for Khitan Small Script characters, which were added to the standard in 2017 to support digital preservation and study of this historical language. While its exact meaning is unknown, the character represents a critical piece of the complex, largely non-alphabetic system that combined logograms for native Khitan words with phonetic symbols borrowed and adapted from Chinese, reflecting a unique cultural blend.
