What 𢵞 means
In Mandarin, pái means to spread both arms wide.
In pinyin, pái sounds roughly like English “pie,” with a rising tone. The entry also lists fēi (roughly “fay,” with a high, level tone) for Taiwanese personal names; that name reading is separate from the action verb.
How was 𢵞 used in older Chinese writing?
Older passages use it for physical actions.
The cited examples span the Ming, Qing, and Republican periods. The oldest listed example appears in Jin Ping Mei, a Ming-dynasty novel; later examples come from Qing and Republican-era works. This establishes use by the Ming period, not when the character was created.
Surrounding phrases use it for striking cymbals, blocking, or pulling something open, so the sentence helps settle the precise action.
Specialist and historical; the pái action reading and fēi name reading belong to different contexts.
For someone's name, follow their established reading; don't default to pái.
