Unicode Version 17.0
U+18BA8 "𘮨" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logogram used in the Khitan Small Script, a writing system developed by the Khitan people to record the now-extinct Khitan language during the Liao Dynasty in East Asia around the 10th to 12th centuries. This script, which remains only partially deciphered by modern linguists, consists of hundreds of individual characters that represent either syllables or whole words, and the character at this code point belongs to a block of the Unicode Standard dedicated to preserving these historical symbols for digital text and scholarly research. Its precise phonetic value or meaning is not fully confirmed due to the limited number of surviving inscriptions, but it is recognized as part of a complex writing system that was influenced by Chinese characters while maintaining distinct structural and functional properties.
