khitan small script character-18bac

Khitan small-script character

173/471

This is a Khitan Small Script character, used to write Khitan, the language of Liao’s rulers. Chinese characters shaped its forms; Uyghur writing influenced how it represented sounds. Its traditional date is 924/925, but a 2026 study argues the script took hold later; the earliest firmly dated surviving inscription is from 1051. Used under Liao and Jin, it was banned by Jin in 1191; later Jurchen scripts followed its model.

Why does 𘮬 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.
