khitan small script character-18cd4

Khitan Small Script character 18CD4

𘳔 is a sign in Khitan Small Script for the Khitan language; its number-based name gives no reading. Devised around 925 to fit Khitan grammar, the Small Script was said to draw on Uyghur writing, with few visible parallels; Khitan Large Script followed Chinese forms. It served inscriptions and literature under Liao, Qara Khitai, and Jin; Jurchen scripts followed Khitan models. As of 2026, it remains partly deciphered.

What 𘳔 means

The code-chart label does not give its reading.

The Khitan script has logograms (whole-word signs) and phonograms (sound signs). The number-based label does not reveal which kind 𘳔 is; phonograms often join in word blocks, while logograms usually stand alone.

Why does Khitan text use clusters?

Sound signs often join to spell one word.

Khitan text ran top to bottom in right-to-left columns. Signs in a sound cluster read across, then down. Digital layout can show vertical or horizontal clusters, or a plain row, so an isolated glyph does not show its original grouping.

Questions people ask

Why does 𘳔 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.
