What 𮉹 means
The reading depends on language. In Japanese, 鞴 is read ふいご (fuigo) and means a hand-operated bellows; in Chinese, it means to saddle or drive a horse. The Korean dictionary’s equivalence does not make the Japanese reading universal.
When does the related form 𮉷 appear in print?
One recorded appearance is in a Chinese essay collection printed in 1633. The collection 皇明十六名家小品 uses 𮉷 while discussing people’s frustration with worldly affairs.
