What 𨮵 means
Read it as muổng, a small scoop or ladle.
The 1895–1896 Đại Nam quấc âm tự vị (Vietnamese dictionary) describes a ceramic or brass scoop for broth or drinking water. Muổng canh is a larger soup spoon; the entry also groups spoon and fork as muổng nỉa.
How does it fit Vietnamese writing?
It is Chữ Nôm, a script used to write Vietnamese.
Chữ Nôm adapted Chinese characters to write Vietnamese; literary records reach the 14th century. A 2023 Vietnamese-language note records muỗm as a Northern word for spoon. Modern Vietnamese usually uses Quốc ngữ, the Latin-based alphabet.
The utensil word is ordinary; this spelling is historical and specialist.
