What 𫊩 means
In Old Zhuang writing, 𫊩 can spell goep, “frog.” Zhuang is spoken in southern China; goep sounds roughly like “kop” on a high tone and can refer especially to a large edible frog. The character is also recorded in Taiwanese personal names with the reading jí.
How did 𫊩 enter Zhuang writing?
Sawndip, or Old Zhuang writing, adapts Chinese character forms to write Zhuang speech.
The Liuhe Jiangu Dazhai Song, one of the earliest surviving Sawndip inscriptions, dates to 683. The script appears in ritual texts, songs, stories, contracts, family records, and place names; local spellings varied. A 1989 dictionary catalogs 𫊩; its publication date is not the graph’s origin date.
