𘬠

U+18B20 "𘬠" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph belonging to the Khitan Small Script, a partially deciphered logographic writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script consists of hundreds of distinct characters that, unlike the related Khitan Large Script, represent individual syllables or morphemes rather than full words. While the exact phonetic value and meaning of this particular character remain unknown due to the incomplete decipherment of the script, its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital preservation and scholarly study of this historical writing system. The character is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane and requires specialized fonts to display correctly on modern digital platforms.
