What 𩇛 means

It depends on the writing tradition. Chữ Nôm is the historical Vietnamese script, made by adapting Chinese characters and their parts to write Vietnamese. Trần Văn Kiệm’s Nôm dictionary, first published in 1989, lists 𩇛 for xanh, with examples such as green leaves, a pale or unwell look, and green eyes.

In older Chinese chemistry, 𩇛 is recorded as a written name for cyanogen, a compound of carbon and nitrogen; modern Chinese writes it as 氰. This reading belongs to chemistry, while xanh belongs to Vietnamese.
