U+18B23 "𘬣" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18B23 "𘬣" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty (907–1125 CE) in northern China. This script was employed to record the Khitan language, which is now extinct and largely undeciphered, though scholars have made progress in identifying some phonetic and logographic values. The character itself represents one of hundreds of distinct symbols in the script, which combines elements of Chinese logograms with phonetic components, and its precise meaning and sound remain unknown due to the fragmentary nature of surviving texts. As part of the Unicode Standard since version 13.0 (2020), this character has been encoded to preserve and facilitate digital research on this ancient and enigmatic writing system.
