What 𪞄 means
It names someone who goes first. This is a kokuji, a kanji made in Japan. The Eastern Han (25–220 CE) dictionary Shuowen Jiezi defines the older 魁 as a soup ladle; later, the sense extended to “chief” or leader.
What does 咲 mean in Japanese and Chinese?
Japanese 咲 means “bloom”; Chinese 咲 has a “laugh” history. In Japanese, 咲く (saku) is the everyday verb “to bloom.” Chinese dictionaries record 咲 as an old variant of 笑 (“laugh”), traceable to Eastern Han (25–220 CE) inscriptions. These are separate language histories of the same component.
