What 𫔳 means
𫔳 writes the Vietnamese word cửa: “door,” “gate,” or “entrance.”
Chữ Nôm adapted Chinese-character forms to write Vietnamese words. A Bảo Ân temple stele dated 1209 records village and personal names in an early Nôm form. Later Nôm carried Vietnamese literature; the Latin-based alphabet Quốc Ngữ became standard in the early twentieth century.
Does cửa have other Chữ Nôm spellings?
Yes; other forms can write the same Vietnamese word. Hán-Nôm references group 𫔳 with 𨷶 as spellings of cửa.
