U+18B27 "𘬧" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18B27 "𘬧" Khitan Small Script Character-# is one of hundreds of logographic and phonetic symbols that make up the Khitan Small Script, a writing system created around the 10th century by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China to represent their language. This specific character, like others in the block, appears in historical manuscripts and inscriptions, though its precise phonetic value or meaning is not always fully understood due to the limited and fragmentary nature of surviving texts. The inclusion of U+18B27 in the Unicode Standard, as part of the Khitan Small Script block finalized in version 13.0 in 2020, enables scholars to digitally archive, search, and analyze these ancient writings, helping to preserve and study the linguistic heritage of a once powerful but now extinct culture.
