What 蟽 means
蟽 appears in 蝲蟽, a word for an insect.
Older Chinese character dictionaries list 蟽 mainly inside 蝲蟽. Another written form, 𧖆, is also recorded. The history of 蟽 in Chinese dictionaries reaches back to the Yupian, an early dictionary of Chinese characters; the later Pianhai and Kangxi Dictionary also preserve the entry.
蝲蟽 names an insect and can also mean “dirty” or “unclean.” The surrounding Chinese tells you which sense fits.
