khitan small script character-18ba9

Khitan Small Script Character 18BA9

𘮩 belongs to Khitan small script; “Character-18BA9” is a label, not a reading or translation. Yelü Diela created the script around 925 to write the Khitan language, reportedly inspired by the Uyghur script despite few visual similarities. A 2025 study dates the earliest known tomb inscription to Liao’s Chongxi era (1032–1055). It lasted through the Liao, Qara Khitai, and Jin dynasties; Jurchen writing under Jin drew on Khitan models.

Why does 𘮩 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.
