What 𰄑 means
In Zhuang, 𰄑 writes a word for a hollow or depression.
The word is mboep, used for “concave” or “sunken.” Zhuang is a language spoken in southern China, and Sawndip is its traditional character-based writing.
凹 supplies the “sunken” clue
𰄑 uses 凹 as a meaning-bearing component; 凹 itself describes a hollow or low surface. The Song-era Guangyun, a Chinese rhyme dictionary, glosses 凹 as “low.”
