What 𪒉 means
It represents 地, the ordinary character for “earth” or “ground.”
It is read dì. The form does not add a separate everyday meaning; its documented role is as a coded substitute for 地.
Why was 𪒉 made?
To disguise 天地 (“heaven and earth”) in a society’s name.
A report from China’s Qing era describes an episode in 1792: a secret association used 靝𪒉會 in its name, and the account says the two altered forms were made to replace 天地. The group was the Heaven and Earth Society, a Chinese secret association; 𪒉 supplies 地.
