U+18B39 "𘬹" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18B39 "𘬹" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic glyph belonging to the Khitan Small Script, a writing system used from the 10th to the 12th century by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in what is now northern China. This character, whose precise phonetic or semantic value remains partially unknown due to the script's cryptic nature, was inscribed on steles, coins, and other artifacts to record the Khitan language. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves a fragment of this extinct written tradition, enabling digital study and display of a script that once served an empire but has only been partially deciphered in modern times.
