Character 18BCA in Khitan Small Script

203/471

𘯊 is a character in Khitan Small Script; its Unicode label is an index, not a translation. Sound signs often cluster; word signs usually stand alone. Surviving texts are mostly tomb inscriptions; the script served the Liao, Western Liao, and Jin dynasties, drew on Chinese-character models, and later influenced Jurchen, another script. A 2026 study questions the 925 creation date: the earliest securely dated inscription is from 1051.

Why does 𘯊 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.
