U+18C50 "𘱐" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𘱐

U+18C50 "𘱐" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a partially deciphered writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty (907–1125 CE) in what is now northern China. This script was employed primarily for writing the Khitan language, which belongs to the Para-Mongolic language family and is distinct from Chinese, and it consists of hundreds of logographic and phonetic characters arranged in vertical columns. The character itself, like many in the Khitan Small Script, likely represents a syllable or a single morpheme, though its exact phonetic value and meaning remain subjects of ongoing scholarly research due to the incomplete decipherment of the script. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard under the Khitan Small Script block helps preserve and enable digital study of this historical writing system.
