What 𪓧 means
Read it as 蜃; it does not have a separate meaning.
Two Song-dynasty Chinese dictionaries, 《集韻》 and 《類篇》, record 𪓧 as the same character as 蜃. The classical dictionary 《說文解字》 describes 蜃 as a large clam and preserves an old belief that pheasants became shellfish in water. The phrase 海市蜃樓 names a mirage and recalls a story that the clam-like creature’s breath formed towers over the sea.
