Variant of 荢

Its reading follows the language and record where it appears.

A Japanese study identifies 𮎸 as a variant of 荢. Japanese references call 荢 a kokuji (a kanji created in Japan) and cite the surname 荢坂, read うさか or おさか.

Chinese dictionaries connect 荢 to 茡 (Mandarin zì), a historical term for the female hemp plant. The Han-era Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, records related 芓 with the gloss 麻母, “female hemp.” Unicode assigned this code point in 2017; that dates the encoding, not the older written forms. A Japanese surname follows its family's established reading, not the Chinese botanical gloss.
