What 𫜂 means
It names a waterbird in Jianghuai Mandarin. The reference entry gives the Mandarin reading zhāng and labels it a regional word; it does not identify a bird species.
The related form 𪅂 appears in the Guangyun, a Chinese pronunciation-and-rhyme dictionary compiled in 1007–1008. Its entry says people of Wu, in the lower Yangtze region, called 水雞 (“water chicken”), written 𪅂渠. That older record and the Jianghuai gloss both point to a broad waterbird name, not a precise species.
