What 𰎻 means
It describes hazardous, steep terrain or a gap. In a Tang-era example by the writer Han Yu, the gap is figurative: an opening someone might exploit for advantage.
Why is 𰎻 in a Buddhist dictionary?
It is recorded there as a form of 巇. The Longkan Shoujian was compiled by the Buddhist monk Xingjun and completed in 997. The dictionary explains written forms, pronunciations, and meanings to help readers work through Buddhist scriptures.
