U+18BBB "𘮻" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18BBB "𘮻" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific graph within the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty (907–1125 CE) to transcribe the Khitan language. This script, which remains only partially deciphered, consists of hundreds of logographic and syllabic symbols, and this particular character represents one of its distinct graphs whose exact phonetic value or meaning is not fully understood by modern scholars. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and academic study of this rare script, aiding efforts to decode its structure and historical usage. Unlike the more widely known Khitan Large Script, the Small Script was more complex and used for a variety of administrative and literary texts, with U+18BBB serving as a small but essential piece of that intricate puzzle.
