What 𭊾 means
It represents the Sanskrit sound dya, not an idea by itself.
The Chinese Buddhist encyclopedia 法苑珠林, compiled in 668, preserves 多𭊾他 at the start of a mantra for Avalokiteśvara, a Buddhist figure.
The phrase transcribes Sanskrit tadyathā, “as follows,” before the recited words. Other Chinese Buddhist versions spell this opening differently; here, 𭊾 contributes a sound rather than a separate Chinese meaning.
