What 𪥼 means
In Mandarin, 𪥼 is qī, equivalent to 妻, the character for a wife. 妻 has older written forms recorded in Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary; Taiwan records 𪥼 separately for personal names.
Why is 𪥼 in a Taiwanese name?
Taiwan's CNS11643 lists it as a household-registration character. The entry attributes it to the Ministry of the Interior's household-registration characters, giving this exact form a name-recording role in Taiwan.
