What 𭺢 means
Here, it is part of a word for a curved roof tile. The text uses 𭺢瓦 for 筒瓦, a roof tile shaped like half a cylinder, then compares that curve with a Buddha figure's fingernail.
佛說造像量度經解 is a Buddhist guide to measuring Buddha images. Gönpojab, a Qing court translator, rendered it from Tibetan into Chinese in 1742; the measuring tradition came from South Asian art and travelled through Tibetan Buddhist texts.
