What 𣴬 means
It is a historical variant of 沒.
In Mandarin, the sinking sense is read mò; méi covers “not have” and “not yet.”
Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 100 CE, analyzes 沒 as water plus 𠬸, a sound-bearing part. Taiwan’s Ministry of Education variant dictionary traces 𣴬 to seal script, an old formal writing style.
