khitan small script character-18c1e

Khitan small-script sign

287/471

𘰞 is a Khitan small-script sound sign; Kane’s 2009 index reconstructs it as jỉn, not a word. The 10th-century script recorded the Khitan language, shaped by Chinese character forms and the Uyghur script; tradition credits Yelü Diela and dates it to 924/925, though its earliest securely dated text is a 1051 tomb inscription. Liao/Jin use lasted until 1191; inscriptions resurfaced in the 1920s, and Jin-era Jurchen writing followed Khitan models.

Why does 𘰞 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.
