U+18C81 "𘲁" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18C81 "𘲁" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a single glyph within the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used to record the Khitan language of the Liao dynasty in East Asia. This particular character, categorized as an ideograph in the Unicode standard, represents one of hundreds of unique logographic or syllabic symbols that together formed a complex script invented in the 10th century. Unlike the earlier Khitan Large Script, the Small Script was largely phonetic, making this character likely a syllabic component used in combination with others to spell out words. Its inclusion in Unicode, within the Khitan Small Script block (U+18B00 to U+18CFF), ensures the preservation and digital representation of this endangered script, offering researchers and linguists a standardized way to study and display an important but poorly understood writing system from medieval history.
