U+18CC5 "𘳅" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18CC5 "𘳅" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a logographic sign from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used for the now extinct Khitan language spoken by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This specific character represents an individual phonetic or syllabic unit, as the script is a complex mixed system of ideograms and phonograms derived partly from Chinese characters. It belongs to a set of over 470 known Khitan Small Script characters, many of which were deciphered through comparative analysis of multilingual inscriptions. The inclusion of this glyph in Unicode facilitates digital preservation and scholarly study of this medieval script, which remains only partially understood by modern linguists.
