When was Khitan small script first used?
Tradition places its creation around 925; surviving evidence is later.
Tradition credits Yelü Diela and Uyghur writing; the earlier large script drew on Chinese characters. Both wrote Khitan in records and inscriptions. A 2026 study questions the timeline: it argues small script was standardized later and identifies a 1051 tomb epitaph for Wugulin Taishi as the earliest securely dated surviving text. Khitan small script remained in use into Jin rule; later Jurchen writing borrowed Khitan models.

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.
