Khitan Small Script Character 18C8E

399/471

𘲎 is one character in Khitan small script, created around 925 by Yelü Diela to write Khitan; a 2010 mapping leaves this glyph’s reading unidentified. The surviving dated texts span 1053 through 1175, and many are tomb epitaphs. Khitan also had a separate large script; the small script is said to have drawn inspiration from Uyghur writing, though the two look little alike.

Why does 𘲎 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.
