What 𬬾 means
It names a knife hilt or where the handle enters the blade.
In Wu-dialect use, dictionaries give two related senses: a knife's hilt and the place where its handle enters the blade. The medieval 《廣韻》 and 《集韻》 are rhyme dictionaries—reference books that group characters by sound—and record the traditional form 鑏 for these tool parts.
Is 𬬾 an everyday Chinese word?
No; dictionaries identify it as a Wu-dialect form.
Keep it when quoting a Wu-dialect or dictionary source. Readers outside that setting need a short gloss, such as “knife hilt.”
