What 䆹 means
It means “empty” or “hollow”; 䆹竉 means “dark.”
Later dictionaries cite the Liang-era 玉篇, an early Chinese dictionary. Two Song-era dictionaries, 集韻 (1039) and 類篇 (1067), record 䆹 with the standalone sense 空 (“empty”) and the compound 䆹竉 (“dark”).
The entries preserve both senses, but do not establish a clear shift from one meaning to the other.
This is a specialized written character, most at home in dictionaries or historical texts.
