khitan small script character-18b51

Khitan Small Script character

82/471

𘭑 is a Khitan Small Script sign, used to write Khitan; its Unicode name indexes a code point, not a gloss or reading. Tradition dates it around 925; a 2026 study argues later systematization. Its earliest securely dated inscription is a 1051 epitaph. Chinese characters shaped it; reported Uyghur influence has few visible parallels. It used word signs and sound clusters; Jin banned both scripts, Small and Large, in 1191.

Why does 𘭑 show as a box on some devices?

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.
