𘭐

U+18B50 "𘭐" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific character from the Khitan Small Script, a historic writing system used by the Khitan people of Northeast Asia during the Liao Dynasty from the 10th to 12th centuries. This script, which is largely undeciphered today, was composed of around 400 to 500 distinct signs that represented syllabic and phonetic elements of the Khitan language. The character, identified by its unique code point in Unicode’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane, was added as part of the official encoding to preserve and facilitate digital study of this ancient script. Its exact phonetic value and meaning remain uncertain, but it serves as a vital fragment for scholars working to understand the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Khitan Empire.
