U+18C5A "𘱚" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18C5A "𘱚" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a single logographic or syllabic glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used between the 10th and 12th centuries by the Khitan people to write their now extinct language during the Liao Dynasty in northern China. This specific character, identified by its unique code point in the Unicode Khitan Small Script block, represents one of the hundreds of distinct symbols in the script, which functioned as a complex, partly phonetic and partly ideographic system. Although the exact phonetic value or meaning of 𘱚 may remain undeciphered or uncertain due to the limited surviving texts and the incomplete modern understanding of the Khitan language, its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and digital archivists can preserve, encode, and analyze this fragment of a lost civilization’s written heritage for historical and linguistic study.
