Text symbol

What 𩽞 means

It can point to either sense.

A Song-era Chinese rhyme dictionary, Jiyun (which groups characters by pronunciation), records 𩽞 as equivalent to 鯤 and glosses 鯤 as fish roe.

The Warring States philosophical text Zhuangzi uses the regular form 鯤 for a vast northern fish that transforms into the bird 鵬. That is the literary sense; the dictionary entry gives the fish-roe sense.
