What 𰄙 means
It writes the Zhuang verb bag.
Its main sense is to chop or split; it is also used for lightning striking, diving or swooping down, dividing, and cutting across. Here bag is a roman-letter form of the Zhuang word, not the English noun.
What is Sawndip?
Sawndip is a traditional character-based script for Zhuang.
Chinese-language steles in Guangxi dated 682 and 697 document writing in the Zhuang area; the later monument includes a local graph for a Zhuang word. This evidence concerns the wider tradition, not the first appearance of 𰄙. Sawndip spelling was not standardized, so one word could have multiple graph forms.
