U+18B8B "𘮋" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18B8B "𘮋" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a logographic or syllabic component of the Khitan Small Script, a writing system historically used to record the Khitan language spoken by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China and Mongolia from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This specific character belongs to a set of abstract glyphs that remain largely undeciphered, though scholars classify them as part of the script’s repertoire designed to represent the phonetic or lexical elements of the now extinct Khitan language. The inclusion of U+18B8B in the Unicode Standard ensures that this rare and ancient character can be digitally preserved and studied, supporting ongoing linguistic and historical research into the Khitan civilization and its writing traditions.
