U+18C9B "𘲛" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18C9B "𘲛" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific grapheme from the Khitan Small Script, an archaic writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty (9071125 AD) in northern China to record the now extinct Khitan language. This character is part of a larger syllabary, which was deciphered only partially in the modern era through analysis of bilingual inscriptions and historical manuscripts. The "𘲛" symbol contributes to the complex representation of sounds and syllables in the script, which is distinct from Chinese characters and from the older Khitan Large Script. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital preservation and scholarly access to this historically significant writing system.
