U+18B74 "𘭴" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical logographic and syllabic writing system developed by the Khitan people during the Liao Dynasty (907–1125 CE) to transcribe their now-extinct Khitan language. This character is one of hundreds encoded in the Unicode standard's "Khitan Small Script" block, which was added to version 13.0 in 2020 as part of ongoing efforts to digitally preserve and study ancient scripts. The "#" symbol in its name indicates that it is a placeholder for a specific character number or phonetic value within the script, as many Khitan Small Script characters have not yet been fully deciphered. Its inclusion allows scholars and linguists to accurately represent and analyze this complex writing system in digital texts, aiding research into Khitan history and language.
