Unicode Version 17.0

𘲵

U+18CB5 "𘲵" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic or syllabic sign from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of Northeast Asia during the Liao Dynasty (907–1125 CE) to record the now-extinct Khitan language. This script, which combines both phonetic and semantic elements, was employed primarily for official inscriptions and legal documents alongside the larger Khitan Large Script, and U+18CB5 represents one of the many unique characters deciphered through painstaking scholarly work on surviving manuscripts and epigraphic monuments. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard under the Khitan Small Script block ensures that this rare and culturally significant character can be digitally preserved, studied, and encoded for modern linguistic research and digital humanities projects.
