What 𮫸 means
It is an old fish-related character; context identifies its specific referent.
The form is recorded in 《集韻》, a Song dynasty dictionary that groups characters by sound. Later Chinese fish lists include it among fish names, and the classic Chinese novel 《水滸傳》 uses it in a scene about eating fish.
An 1883 dictionary of Teochew, a Chinese language variety the book calls Tie-chiu, lists 𮫸 among fish characters and transcribes its reading as Ni.
