What 𮨉 means
It is linked to 頥, a variant of 頤. 頤 means “chin” or “jaw”; it can also mean “to nourish” or name a hexagram in the Yijing, a Chinese divination classic. Context determines the intended sense.
The SAT project for digital Buddhist texts proposed it for Unicode 10.0 so its edition could preserve the exact printed form in the Taishō, a published collection of Buddhist scriptures.
