Rare Han character

Japanese records gloss “probe”; a Chinese draft maps it to 糟.

Two old Japanese character dictionaries record 𮇘 as さぐる (“to feel or probe”): the Seisonji-bon Jikyō (世尊寺本字鏡), associated with the Kamakura period, and the Onkun Henritsu (音訓篇立), whose entry writes the reading サクル. A modern dictionary of Japan-made kanji calls 𮇘 a possible kokuji—a kanji formed in Japan—and glosses it with 摸 (“to feel or probe”).

A separate Chinese record appears in the draft of the Second Chinese Character Simplification Scheme, which proposes 𮇘 for 糟. 糟 means fermented-grain dregs and can also describe something bad or in a mess; the regular simplified spelling remains 糟.
