U+18C0E "𘰎" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18C0E "𘰎" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historic writing system used between the 10th and 12th centuries by the Khitan people to record their now extinct language during the Liao Dynasty in northern China. This character represents a syllabic symbol, part of a broader script that combined logographic and phonetic elements, and its precise pronunciation and meaning remain uncertain due to the limited deciphered corpus. The inclusion of U+18C0E in Unicode's Supplementary Multilingual Plane helps preserve this valuable piece of Central Asian linguistic heritage, allowing scholars to digitally encode and study texts recovered from archaeological sites like steles and burial inscriptions.
