khitan small script character-18bd4

Khitan Small Script Character 18BD4

213/471

𘯔 belongs to the Khitan small script, devised around 925 by Yelü Diela to write the Khitan language. It was used alongside Chinese writing under Liao and Jin rule until 1191. Its shapes drew on Chinese characters, and Uyghur script influenced how it represented sounds; Jurchen rulers later modeled their scripts on Khitan (1119 and 1138). As of 2025, it is only partly deciphered; nearby signs may clarify a reading.

Why does 𘯔 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.
