What 珏 means
It means two pieces of jade joined together.
Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, describes 玨 as two pieces of jade joined together; 珏 is a variant of 玨, and Chinese lexicons also record 瑴 as related.
Historical forms of 玨 are recorded in oracle-bone and Western Zhou bronze inscriptions: early writing cut on animal bones and turtle shells, followed by writing cast on bronze vessels during an early Chinese dynasty. A Ming-dynasty personal name also uses 玨 as one character.
