What 𰌴 means

It is another written form of 空.

A Chinese character dictionary records 𰌴 as the same character as 空. An early form of 空 appears on a bronze vessel from the late Warring States period. In 空, 穴 (“hole”) gives the sense and 工 supplies the sound. “Opening” widened to hollow space and sky. Chinese Buddhist texts use 空 to translate Sanskrit śūnya, the idea that things lack a fixed, independent essence.
