U+18CA6 "𘲦" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18CA6 "𘲦" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logograph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script was employed primarily for inscriptions and official documents, alongside the related Khitan Large Script, and represents a partially deciphered system of phonetic and semantic symbols. The character itself belongs to a set of over four hundred known glyphs that encode the extinct Khitan language, which remains a subject of ongoing philological and computational research. As part of the Unicode Standard's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, its inclusion aims to preserve and enable digital study of this medieval script, though its exact phonetic or semantic value in the Khitan language is still not fully understood by scholars today.
