U+18C23 "𘰣" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific sign from the Khitan Small Script, a historic writing system used by the Khitan people in northern China during the Liao Dynasty (907–1125 CE) to represent their now-extinct Khitan language. This character, like others in this script, was employed to write logographic or syllabic elements and was recently encoded in Unicode to support scholarly research and digital preservation of this ancient script.
