What 邼 means
It names a township in Wenxi, in historic Hedong. The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, defines 邼 as this place-name. 邑 is the place element; 匡 points to the Mandarin syllable kuāng, roughly “kwahng” with a high, level tone. The recorded variant form is 𨝇.
A historical place-name character, most at home in a place-name entry or a reference to old Chinese geography.
If it arrives alone, ask what place or source text the sender has in mind.
