What 𫔡 means
This glyph belongs to the 鬥 family of fighting characters.
Early oracle-bone inscriptions—divination records carved on bone—show 鬥 as two people grappling. Its sense later widened to quarrels, rivalry, and contests.
Is 𫔡 a variant of 鬥?
It is; 斗 depends on the writing system.
Traditional Chinese separates 鬥 (“fight”) from 斗, a measuring vessel and the Big Dipper. Simplified Chinese also uses 斗 for fighting.
