Khitan Small Script Character 18BF8

249/471

𘯸 is a Khitan small-script character for writing the Khitan language. Tradition credits Yelü Diela with creating it around 925 to fit Khitan grammar better than the large script; 2026 research instead dates its systematization later, citing the earliest securely dated surviving text from 1051. It used Chinese-derived shapes and Uyghur-influenced phonetics for records and inscriptions, then influenced Jurchen script. Its Unicode label is an index, not a Khitan translation.

Why does 𘯸 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.
