What 𰇋 means
The manuscript context, not the modern glyph, supplies its reading. A transcription is an editor’s written version of a manuscript. Chu was an ancient Chinese state with its own regional writing style; bamboo slips were narrow strips used as pages.
Scholar Sarah Allan’s 2015 book Buried Ideas includes this exact form in a modern transcription of texts written in Chu script during the Warring States period (475–221 BCE). Encoding such forms lets scholars quote manuscript characters consistently in modern text.
