饦北

U+18C71 "饦北" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a logogram or syllabic sign from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used during the Liao dynasty (907–1125 CE) to record the now extinct Khitan language. This script, which was deciphered primarily through comparative studies with Khitan Large Script and Chinese texts, consists of hundreds of distinct characters that functioned as both phonetic and ideographic symbols. Specifically, character number 146 in the script’s inventory, denoted by this codepoint, represents a unique lexical or grammatical element, though its exact phonetic value and meaning remain a subject of ongoing scholarly analysis due to the limited corpus of surviving inscriptions. As part of the Unicode Standard’s Khitan Small Script block (U+18B00 to U+18CFF), this character helps preserve a crucial piece of Inner Asian linguistic and cultural heritage for digital and academic use.
