What 旊 means
In classical Chinese, it names a potter—the maker of earthenware.
旊人 is a craft title in 《周礼·考工记》 (the Artificers' Record), a technical section of the Rites of Zhou, an ancient Chinese book. It assigns the potter the making of 簋, a vessel for grain.
The Artificers' Record is commonly dated to the fifth century BCE; its compilation and place within the Rites of Zhou remain debated. That date belongs to the text, not necessarily to the character.
