U+18CA9 "𘲩" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18CA9 "𘲩" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph representing a logographic or syllabic element from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty in northern China around the 10th to 12th centuries. This script, which remains only partially deciphered, was employed alongside the Khitan Large Script and Chinese characters for recording the Khitan language, now extinct. The character U+18CA9 is one of many encoded in the Unicode Standard's Supplementary Multilingual Plane under the Khitan Small Script block, facilitating its digital representation for scholarly research into medieval East Asian linguistics and epigraphy. Its precise phonetic or semantic value is not definitively known, as decipherment efforts rely on comparative analysis of manuscript fragments and bilingual inscriptions.
