U+18B2B "𘬫" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘬫
U+18B2B "𘬫" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system historically used by the Khitan people in northern China during the Liao dynasty and later, for writing the Khitan language. This script, which is largely undeciphered, consists of over 400 logographic and syllabic signs, with this particular character representing an individual, unread block within that complex system. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard, specifically within the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, ensures that scholars and linguists can digitally represent, preserve, and study this rare and historically significant script, which is crucial for understanding the non‑Chinese cultures of medieval East Asia.
