CJK ideograph 2E975

It is listed as a variant of 隸, not a separate word.

Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, glosses 隸 as “attached”; later it also names subordinate officials and people made to serve. Japanese uses the reduced form 隷.

A Japanese index arranged by character components cites this form in Haga’s 1914 漢和大辞書, a Japanese character dictionary. The University of Tokyo’s SAT database catalogs it as a source glyph in the Taishō Buddhist canon, a Japanese edition of Buddhist scriptures. 隸書 (“clerical script”) grew from seal script, an older formal style, into a practical brush style near the end of the first millennium BCE; it served official records and appeared on monuments and in letters through the Han dynasty. These records make the rare form useful for source-faithful transcription.
