U+18B93 "𘮓" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18B93 "𘮓" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph found within the Khitan Small Script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people to record the now-extinct Khitan language during the Liao dynasty in northern China (907–1125 CE). This character is part of a larger block of approximately 470 known logographic or syllabic signs that were used primarily for phonetic transcription, unlike the more logographic Khitan Large Script. The exact phonetic value or meaning of character number 346 (its typical designation) remains undeciphered, as scholars continue to work on fully understanding the script through comparative analysis with Chinese inscriptions and bilingual texts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that this ancient writing system can be digitally preserved and studied, representing a vital piece of linguistic history from a nomadic empire that once rivaled Song Dynasty China.
