U+18BC4 "𘯄" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18BC4 "𘯄" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used between the 10th and 12th centuries by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China to record the Khitan language, which is largely undeciphered today. This character belongs to the set of over 470 logograms and phonetic symbols that were inscribed on stone stelae, coins, and other artifacts, and its exact phonetic or semantic value remains unknown to scholars due to the limited corpus of texts and the lack of a bilingual Rosetta Stone equivalent. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard allows for the digital preservation and academic study of this extinct script, facilitating research into the history and linguistics of the Khitan Empire.
