U+18C06 "𘰆" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic glyph from the Khitan small script, a historical writing system used between the 10th and 12th centuries by the Khitan people who ruled the Liao Dynasty in northern China. This character is part of a largely undeciphered script that was employed alongside the earlier Khitan large script for administrative, ceremonial, and literary purposes, with its precise phonetic or semantic value remaining unknown to scholars due to the limited corpus of bilingual texts and the complexity of the script's structure. The encoding of this and other Khitan small script characters in the Unicode Standard, within the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, ensures their digital preservation and facilitates ongoing research into the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Khitan civilization.
