Unicode Version 17.0

𘬿

U+18B3F "𘬿" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logogram or syllabic sign from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China around the 10th to 12th centuries. This script was employed to write the Khitan language, which is largely undeciphered today, and each character represents a syllable or a word rather than an individual sound like in an alphabet. U+18B3F appears in the Unicode Standard's Khitan Small Script block, which was added to facilitate digital encoding and study of these historical texts. While the exact phonetic value or meaning of this particular character remains unknown due to incomplete decipherment, it is part of a corpus of over 400 documented signs that scholars continue to analyze through inscriptions on memorial steles and other artifacts.
