KHITAN SMALL SCRIPT CHARACTER-18B1C is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of KHITAN SMALL SCRIPT CHARACTER-18B1C is Left-to-Right (Strong). It belongs to the strong left-to-right characters..

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Other Letter (Lo) refers to letters that do not fit into the uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, or modifier letter categories. These include letters from scripts that do not have case distinction, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and others. This category is also used for syllabic and ideographic characters that function as letters.

This character belongs to the Khitan Small Script block. The Khitan Small Script was historically used by the Khitan people, a nomadic group that founded the Liao Dynasty in northern China. The script, along with its larger counterpart, Khitan Large Script, was used to write the Khitan language, which is now extinct. The script is found mainly on inscriptions and official documents. Despite its historical significance, much of the script remains undeciphered, and scholars are still working to understand its full structure and meaning. The inclusion of Khitan Small Script in Unicode is a major step toward making this ancient script accessible to researchers and historians. By encoding it digitally, Unicode ensures that Khitan inscriptions and texts can be studied and preserved, contributing to our understanding of early East Asian history and the cultural exchanges that took place between nomadic groups and settled Chinese dynasties..
