Rare form of 岡

𰃪 is an old form of 岡 for a ridge or hill.

The Longkan Shoujian, a Chinese Buddhist character dictionary, was completed in 997 by the Liao monk Xingjun. It helped readers understand difficult forms, pronunciations, and meanings in Buddhist scriptures; its entry identifies 𰃪 as 岡.

The early Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi glosses 岡 as a mountain’s backbone—that is, a ridge or crest. Chinese dictionaries also use 岡 for a hill or high slope. Unicode encodes 𰃪 and 岡 as separate characters, despite their historical equivalence.
