U+18C7C "𘱼" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18C7C "𘱼" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a logographic glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of East Asia during the Liao dynasty (907–1125 CE) to transcribe the now extinct Khitan language. This script, only partially deciphered, consists of hundreds of characters that combine phonetic and semantic elements, and U+18C7C represents one such specific, undetermined lexical or grammatical unit within that system. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that scholars and digital archives can preserve, encode, and study this fragment of a lost writing tradition, aiding ongoing efforts to decode Khitan texts and understand the historical and linguistic connections between the Khitan people and neighboring cultures such as the Chinese, Mongols, and Jurchens.
