What 𫓼 means
It writes the name of an old bronze drinking vessel.
The older form 𨨛 names a hé vessel, a bronze container used for wine. In 𨨛, 金 is the full metal component and 和 stays on the right; 𫓼 uses the compact left-side form 钅. This is a graphic simplification of the same character.
The National Palace Museum dates a bronze wine vessel named 𨨛 to the Spring and Autumn period, 8th–5th century BCE. In the ancient state of Qi, after the Tian family replaced the ruling house, the older character also named an official bronze measure of capacity. Nearby words tell whether a passage means the drinking vessel or the measure.
