𘲺

U+18CBA "𘲺" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph belonging to 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 particular character is encoded in the Unicode Standard’s Khitan Small Script block, which was added to version 13.0 in 2020 to preserve and enable digital representation of this largely undeciphered script. The character itself represents a syllabic or logographic unit within the script, though its exact phonetic value and meaning remain uncertain due to incomplete scholarly understanding. Its inclusion in Unicode allows researchers, linguists, and historians to digitally analyze and reference this important piece of East Asian cultural heritage.
