khitan small script character-18b81

Khitan Small Script Character 18B81

130/471

𘮁 belongs to Khitan small script, a medieval system for writing Khitan. It mixed signs for sounds and words; the Unicode label only names the script. Tradition credits the Khitan prince Yelü Diela with creating it around 924/925 after learning Uyghur writing. Small and large Khitan scripts coexisted; both influenced Jurchen writing, and small script continued under Jin rule. A 2017 catalogue dates its earliest inscriptions to 1053.

Why does 𘮁 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.
