What 𫓺 means
A glue-boiling vessel.
Some dictionaries record 𫓺 as a simplified form of 鐪 or a variant. Mandarin reads lǔ (“loo” with a dipping tone); Cantonese says “lou” with a low rise (Jyutping lou5).
How old is this form?
A Song-era Chinese dictionary, Erya Yi, preserves it in a pronunciation note; Ming reference works later list it as a variant of 鐪.
How should I read it in a text?
Use the surrounding Chinese to identify the intended sense; one glyph alone does not settle it.
