U+18B5F "𘭟" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18B5F "𘭟" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used to record the Khitan language spoken by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script was designed in the early 920s AD to be a more compact and phonetic alternative to the earlier Khitan Large Script, and it was employed for official inscriptions, funerary epitaphs, and administrative records. The character itself represents a logographic or syllabic unit within this largely undeciphered writing system, and its inclusion in the Unicode Standard (specifically in the Khitan Small Script block, range U+18B00 to U+18CFF) ensures its digital preservation and facilitates scholarly research into the history, language, and culture of the Khitan empire.
