Unicode Version 17.0
𘬪
U+18B2A "𘬪" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of northern China during the Liao Dynasty (907–1125 CE). This logographic script, distinct from the later Khitan Large Script, was primarily employed for administrative and official purposes before fading into obscurity after the fall of the Liao Empire. While the exact phonetic or semantic value of this particular character remains undeciphered, its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and enable digital study of this ancient script, which is crucial for linguists and historians working to understand the Khitan language and culture.
