U+18B9F "𘮟" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18B9F "𘮟" Khitan Small Script Character-# is one of many logographic symbols from the Khitan Small Script, a partially deciphered writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script was primarily employed for writing the Khitan language, which is now extinct and belongs to the Para-Mongolic language family, and it differs from the earlier Khitan Large Script in its more compact and cursive forms. The specific character represented by U+18B9F has not been fully deciphered, but it is part of a corpus of inscribed artifacts, such as memorial epitaphs and bronze mirrors, that scholars study to understand the history and culture of the Khitan empire. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital texts and databases can accurately preserve and exchange this rare script for ongoing linguistic and historical research.
