What 𰛧 means
It is a written variant of 淑, meaning “good” or “kind.”
Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, glosses 淑 as clear water. It explains “good” as an extended sense; later dictionaries also give “gentle” and “graceful.”
Why is 𰛧 in a Buddhist dictionary?
It is recorded as a difficult written form.
Li Linhua’s Buddhist Difficult-Character Dictionary (佛教難字字典), published in 1988, records 𰛧 as the same character as 淑. The reference gathers forms from Buddhist books, editions, manuscripts and inscriptions, linking unusual shapes to their standard characters.
