What 㯳 means
㯳 is a variant of 檠: bow brace and lamp stand. Chinese variant dictionaries record it as a form of 檠, citing older Chinese character references: 類篇, 四聲篇海, and 正字通.
An old Chinese poetry collection known as the Book of Odes describes a bamboo brace tied with cord to straighten a bow. In a poem by the Chinese poet Han Yu, 檠 is a lamp stand beside someone reading late at night.
Historical and lexicographic; in ordinary chat, it reads as an obscure literal character.
