What 𮛒 means
It writes the Zhuang verb byaij, meaning “to walk.”
Linguists trace it to Proto-Tai praːj, a reconstructed ancestor word for “walk” in the Tai language family.
Is 𮛒 the only spelling of byaij?
No. Several Sawndip spellings are recorded for the same word.
𮛒 is one; 𨃅 is another. Traditional records vary by writer.
How old is Sawndip?
Sawndip is attested by at least 682.
A stone inscription from that year in Guangxi includes Sawndip characters; it dates the writing tradition, not this individual form.
Fan Chengda’s Guihai yuheng zhi, a regional account of Guangxi compiled in 1175, reports Sawndip in legal complaints and contracts. In a 2021 report, it appears in some rural communities’ ritual songbooks and folk-song lyrics.

1Why does 𮛒 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
