What 𣗪 means
It denotes tea; 茶 is its standard modern form.
Traditional dictionaries link 荼, 𣗪, and 茶 in the history of the tea word. 𣗪 names the tea plant; 荼 also means a bitter or poisonous plant, and 茶 became standard.
The Classic of Tea, a Tang tea guide by Lu Yu, compiled around 760–780, uses 𣗪 for spring-picked leaves and 茗 for later-picked ones. Use 茶 for new writing.
