What 䳷 means
It names a regional word for “chicken.” The Fāngyán is an early Chinese book of regional vocabulary. Compiled in the early first century CE, it marks the word as local to the Guilin area; that is the earliest known written record, not a date for when the spoken word began.
Later dictionaries preserve 䳷 as a rare written name for chicken and list it as a variant of 𩀨.
Historical and lexicographic; it suits discussion of old Chinese vocabulary or deliberate obscurity, not everyday conversation.
Most readers will not recognize 䳷 as “chicken” without context.
