𘰉
U+18C09 "𘰉" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people who ruled northern China during the Liao Dynasty (907–1125 CE). This character belongs to a largely undeciphered logographic and syllabic script that was employed for recording the Khitan language, distinct from the later Jurchen and Mongolian scripts. Its exact phonetic or semantic value remains unknown to modern scholars due to the limited number of surviving texts and incomplete decipherment.
