> Zhang Jinshan signed his name, in a cheeky manner, in Sogdian script as kymš’n and čw kymš’n.

It's a shame that it wasn't explained what makes this signature unusual!

Unusual because in sogdian, not hanzi?

I assumed that the Sogdian script iself was the cheeky part. I imagine if they had just lost a war to the Khotanese it would've been quite the inside joke of the time.
