What 𩯭 means
It names the hair beside your ears, including sideburns. The temples are the areas just in front of the ears.
The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, defines 鬢 as hair on the cheeks. In 鬢邊, a phrase in Hokkien, a Chinese language variety, the meaning shifts by region: in Hokkien spoken in mainland China it means sideburns; in Taiwanese Hokkien it means the temple area just in front of the ear.
𩯭 is a documented variant of 鬢; use 鬢 in traditional Chinese or 鬓 in simplified Chinese for ordinary text.
Without source context, 𩯭 may look like a typo or a missing glyph.
