U+18B38 "𘬸" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18B38 "𘬸" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan small script, a historical writing system used primarily by the Khitan people, who ruled northern China during the Liao dynasty from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script was employed to write the Khitan language, which is now extinct and largely undeciphered, with the character itself representing a unique logographic or syllabic value known only through fragmentary inscriptions and manuscripts. The addition of this character to the Unicode Standard in version 13.0, as part of the Khitan Small Script block, allows for its digital preservation and study by linguists and historians, though its exact phonetic or semantic meaning remains uncertain due to the incomplete understanding of the writing system.
