khitan small script character-18bb1

Khitan Small Script Character 18BB1

𘮱 is a Khitan small-script sign, created around 925 by Yelü Diela to write Khitan. The script drew on Chinese character forms; its design is also said to have been inspired by Uyghur writing, although Khitan and Uyghur writing look little alike. Jurchen writing later borrowed Khitan models; surviving texts include stone epitaphs and memorials. Unicode labels signs by codepoint, so 18BB1 identifies this glyph but not its historical reading.

Why does 𘮱 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.
