Khitan Small Script Character 18C3B

This character belongs to Khitan small script, which wrote the Khitan language. Developed in the 10th century, it used Chinese forms and Uyghur script structure to better write Khitan word endings than the large script. It appears in Liao- and Jin-era inscriptions, records, poetry and translations; Jurchen writing adapted Khitan models. Jin authorities ended official Khitan use in 1191; the oldest securely dated surviving inscription is a 1051 tomb epitaph.
