What 㯅 means

It describes branches that hang below or cross a tree. Older Chinese dictionaries also give 㯅 the sense “small tree”; 㯅㯕 is the paired form for the branch description.

An early record appears in 玉篇, a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 543 CE. Later rhyme dictionaries, reference books that group characters by sound, preserve the tree vocabulary.
