Khitan Small Script Character 18BF6

This is a character in Khitan small script; the Unicode 18.0.0 label identifies its slot, not its word-level reading. The script wrote Khitan under the Liao empire and later the Jin dynasty. Chinese writing shaped its forms, and tradition links its design to Uyghur writing. Chronicles date the script's creation to 924/925, but a 2026 study argues it was systematized later; the oldest securely dated surviving inscription is from 1051.

Questions people ask

Why does 𘯶 show as a box on some devices?

It is recent: Unicode added it in version 13.0 (2020), and phones and computers whose fonts are older than that have nothing to draw it with. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
