Han character 𰪩

𰪩 has distinct Chinese lineages: 䊯, a variant of 穬, an old word for bristles on grain heads, defined in Shuowen Jiezi, an Eastern Han Chinese character dictionary; and a short form proposed for 糖 (“sugar”). China’s 1977 second-round simplification draft proposed that form to make 糖 easier to write; the State Council stopped it in 1986. Context decides the intended use; it is not standard spelling for sugar.
