What 𪺖 means
It writes the Vietnamese noun nanh, “fang” or “canine tooth.” A Hán-Nôm dictionary gives this exact graph in the entry nanh vuốt, literally “fangs and claws.”
The Vietnamese word nanh can also mean a sprout; surrounding words clarify that sense.
How does it fit into Vietnamese writing?
Chữ Nôm adapted Chinese character forms to write Vietnamese.
The script is attested by the 13th century and later carried vernacular Vietnamese poetry and prose. Dictionaries index several graphs for nanh, so 𪺖 is one documented spelling, not the word’s exclusive form.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𪺖 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
