Unicode Version 17.0

𘰘

U+18C18 "𘰘" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logogram or syllabogram from the Khitan Small Script, a historic writing system used by the Khitan people of ancient East Asia to record their now extinct language. This character belongs to a complex script that was employed primarily during the Liao and Western Liao dynasties, around the 10th to 12th centuries, alongside the more pictographic Khitan Large Script. The Khitan Small Script was largely deciphered in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and while the precise phonetic or semantic value of this particular character may still be debated among scholars, its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent a key element of this extinct language's written heritage.
