What 𮣜 means
Korean Hanja: “key”; Chinese dictionary: 鎰, an old weight.
Hanja are Chinese characters used in Korean. Korean references gloss 𮣜 as 鑰 (“key”); a Chinese dictionary from the Yuan dynasty, arranged by rhyme, links it to 鎰, an old weight unit.
A printed 1168 Song collection of writings, 新刊嵩山居士文集, preserves this form. A Qing-era city chronicle pairs it with 锁 (“lock”).
