U+18C8A "𘲊" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘲊
U+18C8A "𘲊" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logogram or syllabic sign from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system used between the 10th and 12th centuries by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China to record their now-extinct language. This script, distinct from the earlier Khitan Large Script, consists of hundreds of characters that were partially deciphered in the 20th century, though many remain unreadable. The character represents a sound or meaning within that system, but its exact phonetic value has not been definitively identified, and it exists today as a digital representation in the Unicode Standard for preserving historical scripts.
