What 㿽 means
An old word for a small basin. The gloss is 小盆, "small basin"; the Mandarin reading is xī. The Wuyin Jiyun listing is an attestation, not a confirmed birthday.
Taiwan's Ministry of Education variant dictionary files it as a variant of 盆. As of 2026, checked references keep that vessel sense — no slang, no regional second life.
Reference-shelf material — for dictionaries, not chats.
As of 2024, Windows 10 ships a default glyph; elsewhere a hollow box means missing font coverage, not a different meaning.
