U+18BCD "𘯍" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18BCD "𘯍" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic symbol from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people to record their now extinct Khitan language during the Liao dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th century. This script, distinct from the earlier Khitan Large Script, employs a mixture of phonetic and ideographic signs, and each character like this one represents a single syllable or a whole word. Because the script was only fully deciphered in recent decades, many of its characters, including U+18BCD, are primarily of interest to paleographers and linguists studying the linguistic and cultural history of the Khitan Empire, and they appear in digital contexts mainly for scholarly text encoding and preservation.
