khitan small script character-18ba8

Khitan Small Script Sign 18BA8

𘮨 belongs to Khitan small script, made under the Liao dynasty for the Khitan language. Its forms came from Chinese characters; Uyghur writing shaped how it represented sounds. It appeared on monuments, in records, poetry, and translations, and survived into Jin rule. Jurchens founded the Jin dynasty and based their scripts on Khitan models. Unicode’s code-point label is not a translation; Unicode 18.0 says the script is partly deciphered.

Why does 𘮨 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
