What 𣜹 means
The character names one practical step in raising silkworms for silk.
A rearing tray is a shallow frame that holds silkworms as they grow. Jiyun (集韻), a Song dynasty rhyme dictionary, pairs 𣜹 with 㯩 for changing that tray. Guides from Huzhou in the nineteenth century describe moving growing worms between trays by size.
