What 𬭕 means
Both senses are recorded; context tells them apart. The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese-character dictionary from China’s Eastern Han period, glosses the traditional form 錭 as “blunt.” The late Warring States classic Xunzi, a book of philosophical essays, uses 錭 in a phrase for carving and ornament; the chapter links this decoration to rank and ritual order. Shuowen explains 錭 as 金 (“metal”) plus 周 for sound.
