Congyu Zhang Kushim Jiang Zhao Liu Liu Zhao

The Khitan small script is one of the two official scripts used during the Liao Dynasty of ancient China, in which each grapheme cluster corresponds to one or more syllables and consisted of one or more yuanzis. After the Khitan small script is encoded in 2020, the corresponding Noto typeface is designed by the local design team and released in 2023.
