What 𮸮 means
It means tying a cow’s lower leg.
In Chinese, 䩤 is read xié. Unicode records 𮸮 as its simplified variant. The Shuowen Jiezi, a character dictionary completed around 100 CE, records that sense. Guangyun (1008), a dictionary arranged by rhyme, adds “bind tightly”; Jiyun (1039) adds “urgent.”
Why is 𮸮 in Chinese record data?
It belongs to a set for rare personal and place names.
Its GIDC23 source label links it to a character set for China’s police population records. A draft amendment to GB 18030, China’s coded-character standard, aimed to let systems exchange rare personal and place names accurately. Unicode added the reviewed set in version 15.1 in 2023.
