Unicode Version 17.0

𘰭

U+18C2D "𘰭" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic sign from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system used between the 10th and 12th centuries by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China, primarily to record the now extinct Khitan language. This script, which remains only partially deciphered, consists of hundreds of individual characters that often combine to represent words or syllables. The character itself is part of a larger effort to digitally encode and preserve this historical script in the Unicode standard, enabling scholars and linguists to study and display it consistently across modern computing platforms. While its exact phonetic or semantic value is not fully confirmed due to incomplete decipherment, U+18C2D contributes to the ongoing documentation of a crucial piece of East Asian cultural and linguistic history.
