What 𭹶 means
喆 is a clue, not a full translation. Chinese dictionaries treat 喆 as a variant of 哲, meaning “wise.” It is one component of 𭹶, but that relationship does not establish the reading or meaning of the larger character.
Was 𭹶 used for mourning shoes?
A 1921 Zhuanghe gazetteer records it in that context. This local-history book describes women’s mourning dress and includes 𭹶 in a phrase for white-cloth shoes. Zhuanghe lies in northeastern China.
