What 穤 means
Yes: 穤 is a variant of 糯 for the same word.
The earliest recorded examples on Qin-dynasty writing slips (narrow strips used for writing) and in Western Han manuscripts place the character family in the Qin and Western Han periods.
The word names sticky rice used for food and brewing; the written sequence is 稬, variant 穤, standard 糯.
Cantonese sources spanning 1914–2007 record 糯 as no6 in Jyutping, the Cantonese romanization system: roughly “naw” on a low, steady pitch; 6 marks the tone.
Use 糯 as the standard form in ordinary modern writing; 穤 is a documented variant.
