What 𰇦 means
Its name identifies the entry, not its reading.
The source locator GZ-1322101 points to page 132, column 2, entry 1, first character of the Ancient Zhuang Character Dictionary, a reference for Sawndip, the Chinese-based writing system for Zhuang, a language spoken in southern China. Unicode's Han-character database uses GZ for this book. It was published in 1989; that date belongs to the book, not a proven first appearance for 𰇦, and the locator itself gives no pronunciation or translation.
What was Sawndip used for?
Sawndip was a Chinese-based way to write Zhuang.
It borrowed Chinese character forms and built others from their components to record Zhuang words. The dictionary drew on older handwritten and printed records, including songs, stories, family histories, letters, contracts, and inscriptions; regional forms varied rather than following one standard.
