khitan small script character-18c3d

Khitan Small Script character 18C3D

318/471

In Kane’s 2009 reconstruction, 𘰽 represents Khitan -or, a past-tense ending. Under Liao rule, Yelü Diela devised Khitan Small Script around 925 CE to write Khitan, drawing on Chinese characters. The Jurchen, founders of Jin, created large and small scripts in 1119 and 1138, modeled on Khitan writing. Known dated inscriptions span 1053–1175; Jin authorities abolished Khitan script in 1191, and a 1922 discovery of funerary texts revived study.

Text symbol

What 𘰽 means

It follows a verb stem to form the past tense.

The form -or is a Latin-letter rendering of Khitan, not the English word “or.” In p.o.or (“became”), it appears at the end of a verb; the dots separate syllables in this scholarly spelling.

Why does 𘰽 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.
