Text symbol

What 𮗿 means

A Buddhist reading note gives its reading as 辯.

The Song-era Buddhist commentary 法華經合論, an explanation of the Lotus Sutra, includes the note 𮗿音辯, meaning that 𮗿 is read like 辯.

The SAT project proposed it for Unicode 10.0 to represent characters in the Taishō Shinshū Daizōkyō (大正新脩大藏經), a Japanese scholarly edition of Buddhist scriptures.

Keep 𮗿 when preserving the source glyph; use 辯 or 辩 for ordinary Chinese writing.
