What 𥋽 means
It belongs to Chữ Nôm, the historical script used to write Vietnamese.
Chữ Nôm developed over centuries by adapting Chinese character forms and parts to write Vietnamese words. A dictionary lists 𥋽 in the eye-related expression tráo trợn, meaning “staring with eyes wide open” in a brazen or rude way. This is separate from the familiar verb tráo, “to swap.”
