What 蟮 means
It names an earthworm in 蛐蟮 and 曲蟮. The character pairs 虫, the meaning part for worms and insects, with 善, which supplies the sound. Dictionaries also record an eel sense. Older entries under 蟺 include a winding shape, a wasp, cicada-related meanings, and a crocodile-like animal.
Why do 蟮 and 蟺 both appear?
They are alternate written forms, not font designs. Dictionaries list 蟮 as an alternate form of 蟺; the earthworm term also appears as 曲蟮 or 曲蟺.
