What 𪺸 means
It is the simplified form in an old torture-tool name. Some Chinese characters have simplified and traditional forms; Unicode maps 𪺸 to 𤠮. Mandarin dictionaries read it as zhōu; pinyin writes Mandarin with Latin letters.
The Book of Sui is an official Sui history; its criminal-law treatise was completed in 656 CE. It describes questioning outside the law that pressed prisoners’ fingers and ankles; Sui reforms abolished them.
