Khitan Small Script Character 18BFA

251/471

𘯺 is a Khitan small-script character, not an emoji; it writes the Khitan language. The script is traditionally dated to 924–925 after Khitan large script, but a 2026 study dates the earliest securely dated inscription to 1051. Shaped by Chinese and Uyghur writing, it influenced the Jurchen people's script; Jin officials ended its official use, though Khitan inscriptions resurfaced in 1922. Unicode's name is a label, not a translation.

Questions people ask

Why does 𘯺 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.
