Khitan character 18B34

𘬴 is a Khitan Small Script sign, made about 925 to write the Khitan language. Unicode names it by number; the label does not give a Khitan reading. Uyghur writing is said to have inspired the script. The Jin dynasty, ruled by the Jurchens, used it until Khitan writing was banned in 1191; Jurchen scripts later followed its model. The first known tomb inscriptions came to light in 1922.
