What 𑈤 means
It is Khojki letter ma, the consonant for the m sound. In Khojki, a consonant normally carries a built-in vowel; a following vowel sign changes it, while a virama (a mark that cancels that vowel) removes it. This is a part of Khojki spelling, not a stand-alone chat reaction.
Khojki belongs to the Sindhi branch of the Landa family of scripts, which is related to Sharada, another South Asian script.
Why was Khojki made?
Khojki’s ancestry is linked to proto-Nagari, an early form of Nagari writing, on storage jars in the eighth century. Manuscript evidence places Khojki use by the 16th century, and one manuscript is dated 1737.
Early forms served business writing among Lohana and Bhatya merchant communities. Khojki took shape as a refined form of Lohānākī, used for ginans: Nizari Ismaili devotional poems and teachings. Lithographic printing (using a flat stone) and metal type brought these works into print from the 19th century. As Khojki declined in the 20th century, Gujarati replaced it in Gujarat and Arabic in Sindh.
Why does 𑈤 look blank?
A font without Khojki support can show a box instead. That is a font or app issue, not a different character. Noto Serif Khojki documents Khojki shaping, the software step that places vowel signs with their letters. As of 2026, Windows lists the script in its shaping engine, but apps vary in how they handle fonts installed outside Windows. Use a Khojki font in an app that can shape Indic text.
Specialized and heritage-linked: in Khojki text it functions as a letter; alone elsewhere it reads as a script sample.
Do not substitute Latin m; it belongs to another writing system.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𑈤 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.
