𪆃 is a historical variant of 鷻, a Chinese name for a bird of prey. The Song-dynasty Guangyun, a dictionary organized by pronunciation, calls it another name for a kite; traditional notes on the Book of Songs, an early poetry collection, identify the poem's bird as 雕, a large bird of prey. Follow the surrounding source to choose the gloss.

What 𪆃 means

It names a bird, but the source determines which one.

Xu Shen's Han-era character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi defines the related form 鷻 as 雕, a large bird of prey. It analyzes 鷻 as 鳥 (“bird”) plus 敦 as a sound guide: the character writes a bird name. 𪆃 is listed as a variant of 鷻, so that older entry explains its connection.

The Song dynasty's Guangyun, a dictionary that groups characters by pronunciation, glosses 𪆃 as another name for a kite (鳶). Traditional Mao notes on the Book of Songs, an early Chinese poetry collection, identify the poem's bird as 雕. These are source-specific labels; follow the text's commentary rather than forcing both glosses into one modern species.
