U+18C6E "𘱮" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18C6E "𘱮" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people in northern China during the Liao dynasty (907–1125 CE). This script, which was largely logographic and partially syllabic, was employed to record the Khitan language, a now extinct Para-Mongolic language. The character numbered as # in its block, like others in the Khitan Small Script, was inscribed on monuments, official seals, and other artifacts, and its precise phonetic or semantic value is often still debated among scholars due to the script's incomplete decipherment. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and enable digital research into this ancient and enigmatic writing system.
