What 𫈎 means
It can name a mountain allium or a “mouse-tail” herb. The Er Ya, an early Chinese glossary, records the older form 葝 in separate entries: 山䪥 (mountain allium) and 鼠尾 (a “mouse-tail” herb). A note says the latter could make black dye.
Unicode’s Unihan data maps 葝 to 𫈎 as a simplified variant. The two Mandarin readings are qíng for 山䪥 and jìng for 鼠尾; surrounding words distinguish the intended plant.
