Unicode Version 17.0
𘯮
U+18BEE "𘯮" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China (907–1125 CE) to record the Khitan language. This character belongs to the set of logographic and syllabic symbols that were derived from Chinese characters but adapted to represent Khitan sounds and words, with its exact phonetic value and meaning still being studied by scholars. It was added to Unicode as part of a major effort to digitally preserve and encode this extinct script, which is crucial for historical linguistics and the study of East Asian medieval cultures.
