U+18BDB "𘯛" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18BDB "𘯛" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people during the Liao dynasty in northern China (907–1125 CE) to record the now extinct Khitan language. This script is largely undeciphered, with scholars having identified only a partial understanding of its syllabic and logographic nature, as it was never fully decoded and no bilingual Rosetta Stone has been found. The character numbered "#" represents one of many unique symbols in this complex script, which was rediscovered and studied from surviving stone inscriptions and artifacts, contributing to ongoing efforts to reconstruct the linguistic and cultural history of the Khitan empire.
