What 𲇳 means
It writes a Hokkien word for “bell.”
Hokkien is one variety of Minnan Chinese. The Ideographic Research Group's 2017 submission cites 《闽南方言大词典》, a 2006 Minnan dialect dictionary, as the source for this form.
Old dictionaries give 䤝 separate readings
Longkan Shoujian (997), an early Chinese character dictionary, records 䤝 with Mandarin yìng, whose meaning is unclear. Zihui (1615), another dictionary, gives qióng for a bracelet or arm ring.
A rare dialect character; context supplies its reading.
Keep the bracelet sense tied to related 䤝's historical entries; the Hokkien bell word has a separate source trail.
