What 𰄯 means
Its reading depends on the entry, not just the glyph. A Cantonese list from 1939 records the form with 來 on the left and 刂, the knife component, on the right as cik1 in Jyutping, a way to write Cantonese pronunciation. That reading is roughly «tsik», held at a high, level pitch. The list identifies 𰄯 as its simplified counterpart.
A Chinese character dictionary from the Ming dynasty lists 𰄯 among entries under the knife component, but gives no gloss there. Separate reference trails connect it with 𠟴 and 㓼, whose dictionary glosses include cuts or an incised wound. Another character reference marks 𰄯 as compositionally related to 刾, listed as a variant of 刺, the Chinese character for stabbing or pricking. These links do not establish one spelling or reading for every record.
Specialist and source-dependent; the bare glyph gives little basis for choosing a reading.
Do not replace it with 刺, 𠟴, or 㓼 without checking the source.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𰄯 show as a box?
The font or app in use may lack a drawing for 𰄯. A missing-glyph box is a display fallback; it does not change the encoded character.
