What 墲 means
It means planning a burial ground or the grounds themselves.
The earliest surviving written example appears in 方言, a book recording regional words from the Western Han dynasty, an early Chinese dynasty. It explains 墲 as measuring and laying out a burial ground, contrasting a tomb without a raised mound with a 丘, an earthen mound.
In later dictionaries, the term covers both the planning and the burial ground itself. The related written form 橅 appears with the same planning sense.

As of 2026, fonts and apps for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean text may draw 墲 differently or lack its glyph; a font with broad coverage may help.
It belongs to historical Chinese funerary vocabulary; 墓 is the familiar character for an ordinary grave or burial place.
Use 墲 for the historical burial-ground sense; ordinary grave wording takes 墓.
