What 𘲼 means
Check its surrounding text; its name is not a translation.
Khitan small script uses logograms (whole-word signs) and phonograms (sound signs). Phonograms cluster to spell words; check nearby writing before assigning this glyph a word.
What direction does Khitan small script read?
Columns descend; their order runs right to left.
Inside sound clusters, characters are read left to right, then top to bottom. The script also supports horizontal cluster layouts or one-character-at-a-time text.
