khitan small script character-18cb9

Khitan Small Script Character 18CB9

𘲹 is a Khitan Small Script character; its number-based name does not give its reading. Yelü Diela created the script around 925 to write the Khitan language. As of 2017, its oldest known inscription was a tomb text from 1053. It mixes word signs and sound signs in clusters; Chinese writing shaped it, Uyghur writing reportedly inspired it, and in 1119 and 1138 Jurchen scripts borrowed Khitan models.

Why does 𘲹 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.
