U+18B21 "𘬡" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a single glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th century CE. This script, which is largely logographic and syllabic in nature, was employed to write the Khitan language, an extinct member of the Mongolic family, and U+18B21 represents one of hundreds of distinct characters that have been deciphered through scholarly analysis of inscriptions and manuscripts. The character's inclusion in Unicode, under the "Khitan Small Script" block added in version 13.0, helps preserve and enable digital study of this important but enigmatic writing system.
