What does 𮈑 mean?
The surrounding word tells you which meaning of 絜 applies.
The Shuowen, an early Chinese dictionary, defines 絜 as a bundle of hemp. Classical passages also use 絜 for measuring or comparing; with a different reading, it means clean or pure. These are readings of the base form, not separate clues from 𮈑’s shape.
Why is 𮈑 preserved in Japanese records?
It helps preserve character forms in government records.
The Japanese Moji Jōhō Kiban (“character information base”) project gathered characters used in residents’ administrative records. Its Moji_Joho collection registered Extension F glyphs in 2017, including the source form represented here.
