U+18C20 "𘰠" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China between the 10th and 12th centuries. This character belongs to a largely undeciphered logographic and syllabic script that was employed to write the Khitan language, distinct from the later Mongolian or Chinese systems. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and study of this rare script, though the exact phonetic or semantic value of U+18C20 remains unknown to scholars due to the limited corpus of surviving texts.
