Khitan Small Script Character 18CB5

𘲵 is from Khitan Small Script, made to write the Khitan language; its Unicode label is an index, not a translation. Traditionally dated to around 925, the script may have entered use later: a 2026 study dates its earliest securely dated surviving epitaph to 1051. Mostly preserved in elite grave inscriptions, as of 2026 it remains partly deciphered. Khitan Large Script was separate; Jurchen scripts (1119, 1138) followed Khitan models.
