U+18B85 "𘮅" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18B85 "𘮅" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic symbol from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system used between the 10th and 12th centuries by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China to record the now extinct Khitan language. This script, which was deciphered only partially in modern times, consists of over 370 known characters, many representing syllables or morphemes, and U+18B85 belongs to a block of characters encoded in Unicode’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane to preserve the historical and linguistic heritage of the Khitan culture. As of its encoding, this particular character is identified by a unique number but lacks a fully confirmed phonetic or semantic reading, reflecting the ongoing scholarly efforts to understand the script’s complex system and its relationship to Chinese and other Altaic languages.
