U+18B66 "𘭦" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18B66 "𘭦" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historic writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script was employed for writing the now-extinct Khitan language and remains only partially deciphered by modern scholars, with many characters like this one representing a syllable or a word. The character is encoded in Unicode's Supplementary Multilingual Plane under the Khitan Small Script block, preserving a fragment of a once vibrant but now largely mysterious East Asian culture. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps linguists and historians access and study ancient texts, facilitating ongoing efforts to understand the Khitan language and its relationship to other Tungusic or Mongolic languages.
