khitan small script character-18b87

Khitan Small Script Character 18B87

136/471

𘮇 belongs to Khitan Small Script, used for the Khitan language. Tradition dates its creation around 925 CE; 2026 research argues for later systematization, while the earliest secure text is a 1051 CE epitaph. Uyghur writing reportedly inspired it, though forms differed; Jin-era Jurchen writing borrowed Khitan models; Jin rulers banned Khitan scripts in 1191. Rediscovered in 1922, it remains partly deciphered; Unicode 18.0 names characters by number, not their reading.

Why does 𘮇 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.
