U+18C7A "𘱺" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18C7A "𘱺" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic sign from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script was primarily employed for writing the now extinct Khitan language, and each character represents a syllable or a morpheme, often lacking a direct phonetic or semantic counterpart in modern languages. The character number hash symbol in its name indicates that its exact reading and meaning remain unknown or undeciphered, as scholars have only partially reconstructed the script from surviving inscriptions and manuscripts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that this ancient character can be digitally preserved, studied, and displayed across modern computing platforms, contributing to the ongoing efforts to understand Khitan history and language.
