What 𮐁 means
It is preserved in a dictionary note on pungent taste. The citation says the lost Chinese dictionary 字苑 wrote 𮐁 and gives 卢葛切. This is fanqie, an old sound-spelling method: the first character supplies an initial sound, and the second cues the rhyme and tone. It then quotes “辛甚曰辣,” meaning a very strong pungent taste is called 辣. The citation does not give a dependable modern Mandarin reading for 𮐁.
