Unicode Version 17.0
饦部
U+18CBF "饦部" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific symbol from the Khitan small script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people during the Liao dynasty in northern China around the 10th to 12th centuries. This script, which consists of hundreds of logographic and syllabic characters, was employed primarily for administrative and ceremonial records, often written in vertical columns. The character itself represents a distinct morpheme or syllable in the Khitan language, which remains only partially deciphered by modern linguists. Its inclusion in Unicode allows scholars to digitally preserve, study, and share this ancient script, aiding efforts to understand the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Khitan Empire.
