Yes. It is a historical written variant of 浸.

**It moved from a river name to water action and gradual change.
The 2nd-century CE character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi records 浸 as a river name. The Classic of Poetry and Zhuangzi use it for soaking or irrigation; a 5th-century history, the Hou Han Shu, uses 浸 for gradual change.
For new Chinese writing, use 浸; keep 𣷽 when matching an older source.
