khitan small script character-18b86

Khitan Small Script Character 18B86

135/471

Unicode’s name for 18B86 gives no reading; Khitan Small and Large Scripts both wrote the Khitan language. Tradition credits the small script to Liao prince Yelü Diela around 925, but a 2026 study argues systematization came later; the earliest securely dated tomb inscription is from 1051. Chinese-derived signs and a Uyghur-inspired phonetic approach let characters represent words or combine into sound clusters. Jin authorities ended Khitan script use in 1191.

Why does 𘮆 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.
