What 敽 means
It means “to bind or fasten.”
Classical references record 敽 as a written variant of 敿. The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary dated to 121 CE, quotes 敿乃干 from the Zhou Shu and glosses 敿 as “to bind or join.”
The Feishi chapter of the Book of Documents uses this sense for fastening a shield’s cords before battle.
