khitan small script character-18c85

Khitan Small Script character 18C85

390/471

𘲅 is a Khitan Small Script sign; its Unicode label gives no reading. Some signs stand for whole words; sound signs usually cluster. Tradition dates the script to 924/925, but its earliest securely dated surviving text is a 1051 epitaph; a 2026 study argues standardization came later. It borrowed Chinese character forms, was reportedly inspired by Uyghur writing, persisted under Jurchen-led Jin rule, and influenced Jurchen writing.

Why does 𘲅 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.
