U+18C03 "𘰃" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18C03 "𘰃" 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 in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This script was employed to write the now extinct Khitan language and is distinct from the larger, more complex Khitan Large Script. The character is part of the Khitan Small Script block in Unicode, released in version 13.0 in 2020, and represents one of hundreds of logographic or syllabic components that were used phonetically or semantically in Khitan inscriptions. Its exact meaning or pronunciation remains unclear to modern scholars, as the script is only partially deciphered through comparison with Chinese historical records and bilingual monuments.
