U+18BBD "𘮽" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘮽

U+18BBD "𘮽" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logogram or syllabic sign used in the Khitan Small Script, a complex writing system developed by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China (907–1125 CE) to record the extinct Khitan language. This script, which remains only partially deciphered, consists of hundreds of distinct characters that functioned either as phonetic symbols representing single syllables or as logographs representing whole words, and character U+18BBD falls within the block allocated for the Khitan Small Script in Unicode version 13.0. Like other characters in its set, this specific glyph was derived from simplified versions of Chinese characters, yet it was adapted to represent the non Chinese Khitan language, making its precise phonetic or semantic meaning a subject of ongoing scholarly research in Khitan philology.
