U+18C54 "𘱔" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character

U+18C54 "𘱔" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific grapheme from the Khitan Small Script, a historically significant writing system used by the Khitan people of East Asia during the Liao dynasty (907–1125 CE) and into the early Yuan period. This script, which remains only partially deciphered, was employed primarily for writing the Khitan language and is distinct from the earlier Khitan Large Script. The character itself functions as a logographic or syllabic element within the script's complex system, where individual glyphs can represent entire words, morphemes, or syllables. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard as part of the Supplementary Multilingual Plane helps preserve digital access to this extinct writing system, enabling scholarly research, comparative linguistics, and the ongoing efforts to fully decode the language and literature of the Khitan people.
