U+18B8D "𘮍" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18B8D "𘮍" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system historically used by the Khitan people of East Asia during the Liao dynasty (907–1125 CE) to write the Khitan language. This script, composed of hundreds of largely undeciphered logographic and phonetic characters, represents a crucial but poorly understood part of the region’s linguistic history. The character itself is one of many in the script’s block within the Unicode Standard, encoded to preserve and enable digital study of this extinct writing system. While its exact meaning or phonetic value remains unknown to scholars, its inclusion supports ongoing research into Khitan language and culture.
