What 䊼 means
It names a measure of spun ramie fiber.
In Mandarin, its reading is chǐ, written in pinyin, a roman-letter guide to pronunciation: roughly the “ch” in “chin,” with the tongue curled slightly back and a low tone that dips then rises. Ramie is a plant fiber. An old Chinese entry describes “績苧一紕” as a portion of spun ramie; another gives “績苧一端” for the same textile measure.
The earliest named work in the dictionary trail is 新字林, an old character dictionary cited in 廣韻, an old Chinese rhyme dictionary. Later dictionaries 集韻 and 類篇 also record the character.
