What 𮐨 means
In 𮐨薁, this character is read yīng. The full Mandarin Chinese name is pronounced yīngyù and means a wild grape vine.
A sixth-century Chinese character dictionary, 玉篇, records the older form 蘡 as part of this plant name. The Taiwan Ministry of Education’s 2024 Dictionary of Chinese Character Variants gives 蘡薁 for the same vine; simplified-character references use 𮐨薁. The plant meaning stays botanical while the first character’s written form changes.
