U+18B9A "𘮚" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18B9A "𘮚" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic symbol from the Khitan Small Script, a partially deciphered writing system used between the 10th and 12th centuries by the Khitan people of medieval Mongolia and northern China to write the Khitan language. This particular character, like others in the block, represents a syllable or a word, though its exact phonetic or semantic value remains uncertain because the script has not been fully deciphered. The Khitan Small Script was historically employed for official inscriptions, such as epitaphs and memorials, alongside the Khitan Large Script, and U+18B9A was encoded in Unicode version 13.0 in 2020 as part of efforts to preserve and digitally support this extinct writing system. Researchers continue to study such characters, often in context with other known texts, to reconstruct the Khitan language and its historical use.
