Khitan Small Script Sign

𘭚 is a sign in the Khitan small script, a system devised around 925 to write Khitan; surviving inscriptions date from the 11th–12th centuries. The script used Chinese-based forms and arranged phonetic signs into word-sized blocks. It remained in use under the Jin, whose Jurchen scripts later borrowed Khitan models. The Unicode name labels the encoded sign; it does not give a reading or translation.

Questions people ask

Why does 𘭚 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.
