Han character 𩓋

It has two recorded readings in historical Chinese dictionaries.

The Kangxi Dictionary traces lài to the sixth-century Yupian dictionary, which glosses the character as 蒙 (“covered”); the Chinese rhyme dictionary Jiyun gives lái in 𩓋𩪂, “long-headed.”

The Hanyu Da Cidian, a Chinese historical dictionary, links lài with 赖 but notes that 𩓋 may be a mistaken form; it also records an ancient place in the state of Zheng during China's Spring and Autumn period. Read the surrounding text.
