Text symbol

What 𪴡 means

It is a kokuji, a kanji created in Japan.

Japanese sources say the holly’s bark was traditionally used to make tori-mochi, a sticky paste for catching birds.

The plant name もちのき appears in Shinsen Jikyō, a Japanese character dictionary compiled around 898–901. That attests the name, not necessarily this exact written form.
