What 𰪨 means
It marks a birth and shares the news. A 2023 account from Taiwan’s Hakka Culture Development Center describes families in parts of Taiwan making 新丁粄, a rice cake for a newborn son. They offered it at a temple or family shrine to honor gods and ancestors, then shared it with relatives and neighbors. The account records some villages beginning to include newborn girls too; practices vary by place.
