What 𭽉 means
It follows the related form 咤.
The 18th-century Kangxi Dictionary records 咤; that entry does not date this exact variant. The Collection of Dhāraṇīs, a Chinese Buddhist scripture, places 𭽉 inside a recited mantra.
Why does 𭽉 appear in a Buddhist mantra?
Digitizers preserved rare print forms as searchable text.
A University of Tokyo project digitized the Taishō Buddhist canon, a large printed scripture collection. In 2017 it helped encode this and other forms for searchable editions; that dates preservation, not the glyph’s origin.
