U+18B5C "𘭜" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18B5C "𘭜" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph belonging to the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of northern China during the Liao Dynasty (907–1125 AD) to record the now extinct Khitan language. This character is part of a block of over 470 ideographic and syllabic signs that were decoded in the 20th century, with this particular logogram representing a distinct syllable or word, though its precise phonetic or semantic value remains unconfirmed due to the fragmented nature of surviving texts. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and scholarly analysis of this largely undeciphered script.
