U+18C9E "𘲞" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system historically used to record the Khitan language spoken by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China and Mongolia during the 10th through 12th centuries. This character represents a syllabic or logographic element within the script, which combined phonetic and semantic components in a complex system that was deciphered only partially in modern times, primarily through the study of monumental inscriptions and bilingual texts.
