U+18BC2 "𘯂" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18BC2 "𘯂" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic sign from the Khitan small script, a writing system used to record the now-extinct Khitan language spoken by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in medieval northern China. This character, part of a larger block of over 470 encoded symbols, represents a distinct phonetic or semantic value within that script, though its exact reading is often not fully known due to the still partially deciphered nature of the Khitan language. The Khitan small script was invented in the 10th century and, like its larger counterpart, was influenced by Chinese characters but functioned differently, primarily serving administrative and ceremonial purposes before falling out of use after the fall of the Liao Dynasty.
