U+18C3F "𘰿" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18C3F "𘰿" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific grapheme from the Khitan Small Script, a partially deciphered logographic writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in medieval East Asia to record their now extinct language. This character, as one of over 500 identified symbols in the script, represents a single syllable or word and was typically inscribed vertically in historical texts discovered on stone monuments and artifacts in northern China. The Khitan Small Script remains an important focus for linguists and historians seeking to reconstruct the Khitan language and understand the cultural and political history of the Liao Empire, with this particular character contributing to the ongoing decipherment of a complex and unique writing tradition distinct from the later Manchu and Mongolian scripts.
