U+18BC7 "𘯇" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18BC7 "𘯇" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific character within the Khitan Small Script, a historically significant writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script was employed to write the now extinct Khitan language, which belongs to the Para-Mongolic language family, and its characters function as logograms or syllabograms representing words or syllables rather than individual sounds. The "-#" designation in its name indicates that this particular character is one of many in the script that remains unlinked to a known phonetic value or meaning, as the vast majority of Khitan Small Script characters have yet to be fully deciphered by scholars. As part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of Unicode, this character helps preserve digital access to a rarely documented script, facilitating research into Khitan history, linguistics, and culture.
