U+18B9B "𘮛" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18B9B "𘮛" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in East Asia between the 10th and 12th centuries. This script, which was deciphered only partially in modern times, consists of over 400 characters representing both syllables and words, often used alongside Chinese characters for administrative and literary purposes. The character itself, denoted by the placeholder "#" in its name, indicates that its exact phonetic or semantic value has not been fully identified by scholars, but it forms part of the encoded repertoire in the Unicode standard to preserve and enable digital study of this extinct language. Its inclusion in Unicode helps researchers and linguists access and analyze the script's complex structure, contributing to ongoing efforts to understand Khitan history and culture.
