Unicode Version 17.0
𘬥
U+18B25 "𘬥" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic sign used in the Khitan small script, a writing system developed by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China during the 10th to 12th centuries CE. This script was used to write the now extinct Khitan language, and each character like this one represents a distinct syllable or word concept, deciphered primarily through comparative analysis with Chinese historical records and inscriptions. The character is part of the larger Khitan Small Script block in Unicode, added to preserve and facilitate digital study of this ancient, largely undeciphered writing system that influenced later scripts in the region.
