Unicode Version 17.0
𘲙
U+18C99 "𘲙" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a semi-syllabic writing system used between the 10th and 12th centuries to record the now-extinct Khitan language spoken by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China. This character represents one of hundreds of distinct logographic and syllabic signs within the script, which was primarily used for official inscriptions, epitaphs, and administrative documents. Its exact phonetic or semantic value remains uncertain to scholars, as the Khitan Small Script has not been fully deciphered, though ongoing research relies on comparative analysis with Chinese and Jurchen sources.
