What 𩯂 means
It means gáy: the back of the neck, where the hair grows.
A Hán-Nôm dictionary lists 𩯂 in tóc gáy (“nape hair”). The noun gáy also means a book’s spine: the edge that joins its pages.
The noun is traced to Proto-Vietic, a reconstructed ancestor language of Vietnamese. Its older form gấy appears in a Vietnamese–Portuguese–Latin dictionary from 1651; that date belongs to the word, not necessarily this exact graph. The separate homophonous verb gáy, “to crow,” uses other Nôm graphs.
