What 𮰨 means
It preserves an uncommon character in Chinese personal and place names.
The source record pairs it with 堟; that older character is a useful clue to its history.
Why was 𮰨 encoded?
To make rare name characters exchangeable between systems.
In 2023, source ID GIDC23-057 placed 𮰨 in China’s Ministry of Public Security population-information set. China’s GB 18030 standard for Chinese text added rare characters found in personal and place names so information systems could exchange them.
