U+18C41 "𘱁" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘱁

U+18C41 "𘱁" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic character from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system used by the Khitan people during the Liao dynasty in northern China, primarily between the 10th and 12th centuries. This character represents a single phonetic or semantic unit from the undeciphered corpus of the script, which was officially encoded in the Unicode Standard to support historical and linguistic research. Its precise meaning and pronunciation remain largely unknown to scholars, as the Khitan Small Script has only been partially deciphered through comparative analysis with known texts and inscriptions. The inclusion of U+18C41 in Unicode helps preserve this fragment of a lost language and facilitates digital study and cross-referencing among historians and linguists working on the Khitan language and its relationship to other Mongolic or Para-Mongolic languages.
