What 砎 means
It describes a stone-like appearance or something hard.
The Yupian, a Chinese character dictionary compiled c. 543, glosses it as “the appearance of stone.” Guangyun also gives “hard.” An Eastern Jin memorial by Huan Wen uses 砎如石焉 to describe something as firm as stone.
How is 砎 related to 介?
