Unicode Version 17.0

𘱍

U+18C4D “𘱍” Khitan Small Script Character-# is a glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people who ruled the Liao dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. Unlike the earlier Khitan Large Script, this script is a partially syllabic and partially logographic system that was adapted from Chinese characters and was employed primarily for administrative and ceremonial inscriptions. The specific character represented by this codepoint corresponds to a unique phoneme or morpheme within the Khitan language, which has since become extinct and is only partially deciphered through scholarly analysis of surviving epigraphic monuments. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates digital preservation and research into this medieval script.
