Unicode Version 17.0
𘱟
U+18C5F "𘱟" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a logographic or syllabic symbol from the ancient Khitan small script, a writing system used by the Khitan people during the Liao dynasty in northern China (10th to 12th centuries). This script, still partially undeciphered, was employed to write the now-extinct Khitan language and consists of over 500 unique characters, many of which represent syllables or words. The specific meaning and phonetic value of this particular glyph remain unidentified by scholars, as the script's decipherment relies heavily on sparse historical texts and inscriptions, such as those found on memorial tablets.
