What 𣼮 means
It writes northern Vietnamese thìa, meaning “spoon.”
Chữ Nôm adapted Chinese characters and formed new ones to write spoken Vietnamese; surviving textual evidence of the system dates to the 13th century.
In the South, muỗng is the common word for that utensil; modern Vietnamese writes the northern word in the Latin-based alphabet as thìa.
