𘮎

U+18B8E "𘮎" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system historically used by the Khitan people of East Asia during the Liao Dynasty (10th to 12th centuries) to write the Khitan language, which is now extinct and largely undeciphered. This block of the Unicode Standard, known as the Khitan Small Script, encodes hundreds of such characters that have been identified from historical inscriptions, though the exact phonetic or semantic value of the individual character U+18B8E remains uncertain due to ongoing scholarly research and the incomplete decipherment of the script. Its inclusion in Unicode represents an important step in preserving and enabling digital study of this rare and complex writing system.
