U+18C55 "𘱕" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18C55 "𘱕" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a grapheme from the Khitan Small Script, a historically significant logophonetic writing system developed by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty (907–1125 CE) in northern China. This script was used to write the now-extinct Khitan language, which belongs to the Para-Mongolic language family, and its symbols often represent syllables or morphemes rather than individual phonemes. The specific character 𘱕 remains unannotated in its meaning or phonetic value, as the script was largely undeciphered until recent decades and many of its over 300 characters have yet to be fully decoded. As part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, U+18C55 contributes to the digital preservation of this ancient script, enabling scholars and linguists to study and share materials related to the Khitan civilization's administrative, religious, and cultural records through modern text encoding.
