khitan small script character-18b97

Khitan Small Script Character 18B97

152/471

This character belongs to Khitan Small Script, used to write Khitan; its Unicode name is an inventory label, not a reading. Khitan prince Yelü Diela created it about 925 under Liao rule; it adapted Chinese character forms and reportedly drew on Uyghur writing despite little visual similarity. Most surviving texts are inscriptions carved on tombstones. Jurchen writing adapted Khitan models; Unicode 17.0 describes Khitan Small Script as partly deciphered.

Why does 𘮗 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.
