U+18C96 "𘲖" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic glyph belonging to the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty (907–1125 CE) in northern China. This script was employed to record the extinct Khitan language and was deciphered only partially through modern scholarship. The character "#" in its official Unicode name indicates that its exact phonetic or semantic value has not been firmly identified, as many characters in this block remain undeciphered.
