Unicode Version 17.0

𘲝

U+18C9D "𘲝" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China (10th–12th centuries) to record the now-extinct Khitan language. This character, part of the Unicode Khitan Small Script block encoded in 2019, represents one of hundreds of distinct signs in the script, which combines elements derived from Chinese characters with unique phonetic and semantic components. Its precise phonetic value or meaning remains uncertain to scholars, as the script is only partially deciphered, but it likely corresponds to a syllable or word in the Khitan language. The inclusion of U+18C9D in Unicode helps preserve and enable digital study of this rare and historically significant script.
