What 𪊍 means
Context separates deer from nit.
An early trace is a Western Han poem about Sichuan, Shu du fu, attributed to Yang Xiong. It pairs 𪋇 and 𪊍 in food offered during ancestor ceremonies; dictionaries call them one- and two-year-old deer.
In the Ming-era novel Jin Ping Mei, 虱𪊍 means lice and nits. Chinese dictionaries say 𪊍 stands in for 虮, a louse egg.
