Khitan Small Script Character 18B3A

𘬺 is in Khitan Small Script for the Khitan language; its code-point name isn't a reading. The script mixed word and sound signs; tradition credits Yelü Diela around 925, though a 2026 study places systematization later. The Uyghur writing system reportedly inspired it; its earliest securely dated surviving text is a 1051 tomb inscription. The script appeared on Liao tombs, persisted under Jin rule, and influenced later Jurchen scripts.

Questions people ask

Why does 𘬺 show as a box on some devices?

It is recent: Unicode added it in version 13.0 (2020), and phones and computers whose fonts are older than that have nothing to draw it with. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
