Khitan Small Script Character 18B6B

𘭫 is a sign in Khitan Small Script, which wrote the Khitan language; reading needs context. Signs represent words or sounds; most surviving texts are tomb inscriptions. Tradition credits Yelü Diela, the Liao founder’s brother, with creating the script around 925, reportedly inspired by Uyghur script; a 2026 study argues standardization came later, with the earliest securely dated inscription in 1051. It adapted Chinese character forms and influenced Jurchen scripts.
