Text symbol

What 𪐛 means

It is a variant of 黥 for penal face-marking.

The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, defines 黥 as an ink punishment on the face. Before China's Qin dynasty, deep cuts on the forehead or cheek were hard to remove, making the mark a public stigma. Later records say it marked enslaved people or soldiers to deter escape.
