What 𮑍 means
It names a kind of fine grass.
Tanluan’s Northern Wei commentary explains a verse about Amitābha’s Pure Land, a Buddhist ideal realm of rebirth. It describes soft, jewel-like ground and names 𮑍 as fine grass. The SAT project proposed this printed form for digital editions of the Taishō canon, a collection of Buddhist scriptures.
