U+18B86 "𘮆" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18B86 "𘮆" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people, who ruled the Liao dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script was primarily employed for administrative, ceremonial, and literary purposes and remains largely undeciphered, though scholars have identified some phonetic and logographic components. The character itself represents one of many distinct syllabic or semantic signs in this complex script, which was derived from Chinese but adapted to the Khitan language, a now extinct member of the Para-Mongolic language family. Included in the Unicode standard as part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, U+18B86 helps preserve this ancient writing system for digital research and study, though its exact phonetic value or meaning has not been fully determined by modern linguists.
