U+18B8C "𘮌" Khitan Small Script Character-# is one of approximately 470 known logographic or syllabic symbols from the Khitan Small Script, a writing system used between the 10th and 12th centuries by the Khitan people, who ruled the Liao dynasty in northern China. This script was employed to write the now extinct Khitan language, and individual characters like U+18B8C remain largely undeciphered, though scholars have identified some phonetic values and meanings through comparative analysis with inscriptions and Chinese historical records. The character appears in stone inscriptions and manuscripts, representing a fragment of a lost linguistic heritage that modern researchers continue to study in order to unlock the history and culture of the Khitan Empire.
