U+18BB6 "𘮶" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18BB6 "𘮶" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific logographic symbol from the Khitan Small Script, a partially deciphered writing system used by the Khitan people of northern China during the Liao Dynasty (907–1125 CE). This script was employed to write the now-extinct Khitan language, unrelated to Chinese, and consists of hundreds of characters that represent syllables or words. The character 𘮶 belongs to the collection of over 400 recognized Khitan Small Script signs, many of which have been assigned to Unicode’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane to aid in digital preservation and scholarly study. Though the precise phonetic value or meaning of U+18BB6 may not be fully confirmed due to gaps in decipherment, it represents a fragment of the historical record of a once-powerful steppe empire, whose script fell out of use after the Khitan were absorbed into other cultures.
