What 𣊬 means
It is a form of 瞬 meaning “blink” and “a brief moment.”
Historical Chinese texts preserve 𣊬 in phrases such as 𣊬目 for blinking and 𣊬息 for a short interval. Examples appear in religious writing, poetry, and prose, carrying the same blink-to-instant sense.
𣊬 or 瞬: which should I use?
Use 瞬 in ordinary writing; reserve 𣊬 for exact quotations or transcriptions. Reference works treat them as written forms of the same Chinese word. Replacing 𣊬 with 瞬 in a quotation changes the recorded graph; elsewhere, the more familiar form is clearer.
Text-historical: in modern prose, 𣊬 reads as a deliberate choice to preserve a rare written form.
If you mean the familiar word “blink” or “instant,” use 瞬.
