U+18BC9 "𘯉" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18BC9 "𘯉" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system historically used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China (10th–12th centuries) to record the now-extinct Khitan language. This character, part of the Unicode block for Khitan Small Script added in version 13.0 (2020), represents a unique assigned symbol in that phonetic and ideographic system, though its exact linguistic value or pronunciation remains unknown to modern scholars due to the incomplete decipherment of the script. Its inclusion in digital encoding helps preserve and enable research into this historically significant but poorly understood writing system, which is distinct from the larger and more thoroughly deciphered Khitan Large Script.
