U+18C0C "𘰌" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18C0C "𘰌" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic sign from the Khitan small script, a partially undeciphered writing system used to record the Khitan language, which was spoken by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th century. This character belongs to a set of over 300 distinct glyphs created by the Khitan elite as a simplified, semi cursive alternative to the larger and more complex Khitan large script, both of which were inspired by Chinese characters. Although the precise phonetic or semantic value of U+18C0C remains unknown due to the script's limited decipherment, its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that scholars and digital text platforms can accurately encode, preserve, and analyze this fragment of a lost language. The block containing this character was added to Unicode in version 13.0 in 2020 as part of ongoing efforts to encode historical writing systems.
