What 矋 means
In Cantonese, 矋 is associated with a sharp, warning stare. The phrase 眼矋矋 describes an angry glare; a Cantonese dictionary illustrates it with a teacher glaring at students to stop them cheating. Another Chinese dictionary lists readings in Mandarin and Cantonese but labels this meaning Cantonese.
A Hong Kong submission dated 2003-04-01 listed 矋 among characters compiled as commonly used in the local community, citing Cantonese material among its sources. That documents a Hong Kong usage context, not when the character originated.

Expressive and pointed in the Cantonese phrase 眼矋矋; outside that context, it can be opaque.
