What 巀 means
It names a mountain and means “high and steep.”
A Han-era Chinese dictionary, 《說文解字》, records 巀 in 巀嶭, a mountain name linked to 馮翊池陽 in present-day Shaanxi.
The classical work 上林賦 writes it 嶻嶭; 嶻 is a documented variant.
Archaic and literary; it belongs to classical Chinese, not casual conversation.
Alone, it may look like a typo or a missing glyph.
