What 𮭒 means
In Old Zhuang, it writes laej, the word for “sparrow.”
The broader script is traced to the Tang period, when Zhuang writers adapted Chinese character forms to record their language. It served songs, stories, family records, contracts and ritual texts. A Latin-based orthography followed in 1955; that history does not date this glyph’s first use.
