Khitan small-script character

𘱡 is a Khitan small-script character; its standalone reading is unsettled. Khitan small script wrote Khitan with word signs and clustered sound signs, distinct from Khitan large script; it lasted into the Qara Khitai empire and Jin dynasty. Tradition dates it to about 925, linking it to Uyghur writing despite few clear resemblances. The oldest securely dated text is a 1051 epitaph; a 2026 study argues wider use came later.
