U+18BCC "𘯌" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18BCC "𘯌" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used during the Liao Dynasty (907-1125 CE) to transcribe the now-extinct Khitan language. This character, assigned to the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, represents one of hundreds of known glyphs that functioned as part of a complex, largely undeciphered script that combined phonetic and ideographic elements, distinct from the later Khitan Large Script. Its precise phonetic or semantic value remains unknown to scholars, as the script has only been partially decoded through the study of inscriptions on monuments, coins, and seals. The inclusion of U+18BCC in the Unicode Standard ensures that researchers and digital archivists can accurately encode and preserve this rare character for future linguistic and historical study.
