U+18B08 "𘬈" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18B08 "𘬈" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic sign from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China (10th–12th centuries). This script was employed to write the Khitan language, which remains largely undeciphered, and each character typically represents a single syllable or a semantic unit. The exact phonetic value and meaning of this particular character, designated by the placeholder "#" in its official name, are not yet fully determined by scholars due to the limited number of deciphered texts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard as part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane ensures that researchers and linguists can digitally encode and study this rare script, preserving an important piece of East Asian linguistic heritage.
