What 𮩘 means
It is a written variant of 饎, “food and drink.” In the Rites of Zhou, 𮩘人 names a cooking official who provides ritual food. A textual note records an earlier copy using 𮩘 for 饎.
The character list for the Taishō Shinshū Daizōkyō, a Japanese Buddhist canon edition, records 𮩘 as 食 + 燕. This shows its documented source trail; the reading comes from its historical relation to 饎.
Questions people ask
1Why does 𮩘 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.
