Khitan Small Script Character 18C66

𘱦 belongs to Khitan Small Script, created around 925 to record the Khitan language. Its shapes drew on Chinese characters; its sound system was inspired by the Uyghur writing system farther west. Used under the Liao and Jin, the script was banned in 1191 and rediscovered through tomb epitaphs in 1922; Jurchen scripts later followed its model. Its Unicode label is an inventory name, not a reading.

Questions people ask

Why does 𘱦 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.
