U+18BAF "𘮯" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18BAF "𘮯" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph within the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in East Asia (907–1125 CE) to write the now-extinct Khitan language. As a single logogram or syllabogram, this character represents one of the hundreds of distinct signs in the script, which combines elements of Chinese characters with unique invented symbols to phonetically and semantically record the Khitan language. Assigned to the Unicode Standard’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane to accommodate rare historic scripts, U+18BAF aids in the digital preservation and study of a writing system that was only partially deciphered in the 20th century, offering scholars vital insights into the culture and administration of medieval nomadic empires.
