What 㰯 means
It marks refusal in speech, spitting, or the sound of spitting.
A recognizable form appears in an inscription on a bronze vessel from the late Spring and Autumn period. Its dictionary gloss describes someone spitting while refusing another person's words: the character names an act in speech, not an object.
Later Chinese dictionaries list 㰯 as a variant of 咅 and analyze its written form as two components, 豆 and 欠. They give several readings: one for refusal or spitting, one for “spit,” and a narrow classical reading for rough or fierce conduct.
Archaic and specialist; without context, it reads more like a dictionary character than a casual reaction.
Alone, it can look like an inside joke rather than a clear refusal.
