What 𮗎 means
The dictionary gives a reading, not a clear definition.
Longkan Shoujian (龍龕手鑑), a Buddhist character dictionary completed in 997, was made to help readers of scriptures. It files 𮗎 under 見 (“see”), the traditional lookup element, and records 俗音回, a sound cue using 回.
Why does 𮗎 appear in Unicode?
It came through a project digitizing Buddhist scripture.
The University of Tokyo’s SAT project submitted it in 2017 so digital Taishō texts could store and search rare characters as text rather than pictures.
