U+18C36 "𘰶" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18C36 "𘰶" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people to record the Khitan language during the Liao Dynasty in northern China (10th–12th centuries). This character represents one of many syllabic or logographic signs in the script, which was primarily employed for official inscriptions and documents before its eventual decline and replacement by other writing systems. The Khitan Small Script, typologically classified as a mixed script combining logograms and phonetic elements, was deciphered only partially by modern scholars, and characters like U+18C36 contribute to ongoing research into the phonology and grammar of the extinct Khitan language. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures digital preservation and study of this rare script.
