What 𭾫 means
Its traditional gloss concerns eyes that cannot see clearly.
Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 100 CE, defines 眊 as eyes lacking clarity. Another Chinese dictionary gives 𭾫 the same gloss and cites the Book of Han phrase 眊悼 (“old and young”) as evidence that 眊 could stand for 耄 (“old age”).
