U+18CB9 "𘲹" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18CB9 "𘲹" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historically significant writing system created by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China around the 10th century to write the Khitan language. This character is part of a syllabic script used primarily for administrative and ceremonial purposes, which remained undeciphered for centuries until modern linguistic analysis revealed its phonetic values based on Chinese transcriptions. The "#" in its official name serves as a placeholder in the Unicode standard for the character's specific index within the Khitan Small Script block, as its precise phonetic or semantic role in the extinct Khitan language is not known to the general public.
