What 躴 means
In 躴躿, it describes a tall or long-bodied person. The classical Chinese gloss 身長貌 describes a long-bodied appearance.
The earliest dated dictionary record of 躴躿 comes from 玉篇, a Chinese dictionary compiled around 543. The date marks the written record, not necessarily when the character was created.
A Chinese novel from the Ming dynasty uses 躴躿 for a very tall figure. The later Kangxi Dictionary, another Chinese lexicon, repeats the same body-related sense.
How do I type 躴?
Use pinyin láng in a Mandarin Chinese input method.
Enter láng in a Mandarin Chinese IME and select 躴 if it appears in the candidate list. If the list omits it, a component- or stroke-based method may help. Unicode entry uses U8EB4; keystrokes vary by system.
Is 躴 the same as 𨉰?
Yes; 𨉰 is a documented variant of 躴.
Taiwan's Ministry of Education lists it as an alternate written form in its character-variants dictionary. The connection is documented in writing, not inferred from similar shapes.
Dictionary-like and literary; its documented description of stature appears in 躴躿.

Regional CJK fonts may draw the same character differently. If a font lacks 躴, it may show a blank box; that changes the display, not the character in the text.
