U+18CD5 "𘳕" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18CD5 "𘳕" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph within the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people, who ruled the Liao dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script, derived in part from Chinese characters, was employed to write the now extinct Khitan language and features a syllabic or logographic structure, making it distinct from its larger counterpart, the Khitan Large Script. The character 𘳕 represents a particular syllable or word, though its exact phonetic or semantic value is not fully deciphered by modern scholars. As part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, this encoded character helps preserve a crucial piece of East Asian linguistic and cultural heritage, enabling digital documentation and study of a script that was largely forgotten after the fall of the Liao dynasty.
