khitan small script character-18b50

Khitan Small Script character 18B50

This is a Khitan small-script character; its Unicode name is an ID, not a reading. Yelü Diela created it around 925 under Liao to write Khitan. It used word signs and sound signs grouped into words, drawing on Chinese forms; Uyghur writing reportedly inspired its creation. It served records, epitaphs, poetry, translation and diplomacy. Jurchen writers in Jin used it until 1211; inscriptions rediscovered in the 1920s revived study.

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
