U+18BB4 "𘮴" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historic writing system used by the Khitan people to record their now-extinct language during the Liao dynasty in medieval China. This character represents one of hundreds of logographic or syllabic signs that were inscribed on stone monuments and memorial tablets, offering modern scholars a window into the administrative and cultural life of the Khitan Empire. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital preservation and study of this complex script, which was only fully deciphered in recent decades through comparative analysis of bilingual inscriptions.
